How does God hold individuals accountable for their sin?
Answered in 1 source
God holds individuals accountable for their sin despite their nature because humans act according to their desires and will.
The notion of accountability in Reformed theology is rooted in the belief that while humans are born with a sinful nature, they still willingly choose to sin. As articulated in the sermon, it is emphasized that sin is not a struggle for man but a natural inclination, which does not absolve one from responsibility. Scriptures like Romans 1:20 affirm that God's attributes are evident in creation, leaving humanity without excuse. Thus, individuals are accountable for their actions and choices, even though they are influenced by their fallen nature, reflecting the tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility.
