The second
area is man’s nature as the result of the fall. Sin has alienated the mind of
man from God and has resulted in a state of spiritual darkness. Note the following
statements: “their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans1:21); “having the understanding darkened” (Ephesians4:18); “ye were sometimes darkness” (Ephesians5:8); “to turn them from darkness to light” (Acts 26:18); “a light of them that are in darkness” (Romans 2:19);”the light shined in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not”
(John 1:5); “the rulers of the darkness of this
world” (Ephesians 6: 12);”delivered us from the
power of darkness” (Colossians 1: 13); “hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9); “the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that
believe not” (2 Corinthians 4:4); “Having the
understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the
ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart” (Ephesians 4:18).
