Chapter 2: Human Condition (120 words)
Sin is the disease that has infected every human being. The proper theological term for
this is “original sin.” The viciousness of original sin has altered our nature that it is “so

condition is that “sin is not simply something we choose to do or not do; sin is our nature.
We aren’t sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners” (Grunewald, p.26).
The answer to our human condition is found in the Gospel, or more correctly, the person
of the Gospel. Rather than being plagued by a “me first” spirit, Jesus selflessly gives
himself to rescue those under the curse of sin.
