El sermón de Jose Dzul titulado "El hombre después de la caída" se centra en la condición espiritual del hombre tras el pecado de Adán y Eva, enfatizando que la caída ha dejado al ser humano en un estado de ruina total y ceguera espiritual. Dzul argumenta que, como resultado del pecado, el hombre no puede discernir lo bueno de lo malo y está lleno de orgullo y rebelión contra Dios, como se ilustra en Isaías 5:20-22. Se hace referencia adicional a Juan 3:19-21 y 1 Corintios 2:14 para resaltar la incapacidad del hombre natural para entender las verdades de Dios, afirmando que es solo a través de la intervención divina y la revelación del Espíritu Santo que el hombre puede ser reconciliado con Dios. El sermón subraya la importancia de la gracia soberana de Dios en la salvación, destacando que esta no depende de los méritos humanos, sino del propósito eterno de Dios, lo que es fundamental en la teología reformada.

The Bible teaches that man after the fall is in total ruin, spiritually blind and dead in sin, unable to discern good from evil.
According to Scripture, particularly Isaiah 5:20-22, after the fall, man fell into spiritual blindness and deafness, losing the ability to see or hear the voice of God. The natural man now walks in darkness, characterized by ignorance and pride. Spiritual darkness leads to a complete inability to distinguish between good and evil, as the fallen man's understanding is darkened. This fallen state results in sin, rebellion, and spiritual death, leaving humanity incapable of performing good works without divine intervention.
Isaiah 5:20-22, John 3:19-21, 1 Corinthians 2:14
Humans are totally depraved due to their nature after the fall, which leads them to prefer darkness over light.
The doctrine of total depravity teaches that following the fall, every aspect of humanity is corrupted by sin, as seen in Romans 3:10-12. The inability to seek God or understand spiritual truths is highlighted in John 3:19-21, where it states that people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. This total depravity aligns with the understanding that without the work of the Holy Spirit, individuals cannot perceive, accept, or act according to God's truth. The fallen nature is so deep that individuals are not only sinful but are also blind to their sinfulness.
Romans 3:10-12, John 3:19-21, 1 Corinthians 2:14
The sovereignty of God is essential for salvation as it ensures that God's grace is freely given according to His divine will.
The sovereignty of God plays a critical role in the salvation of believers, affirming that God's will, not human effort or merit, ultimately determines who receives grace. Romans 9 illustrates that God's choices are based solely on His purpose and not our actions, emphasizing that He creates distinctions among people based on His sovereign will. This truth assures believers that their salvation is not based on chance but on God's eternal decree, which cannot fail. Thus, understanding God's sovereignty fosters confidence in His promise of salvation and guarantees that He will fulfill His plan.
Romans 9:13-15, Ephesians 3:11, Romans 8:28-30
God justifies sinners through the sacrificial death of Christ, satisfying His justice while granting grace.
The ability of God to justify sinners without contradicting His justice is explained in Romans 3:24-26. God justifies individuals freely by His grace through the redemption that is found in Christ Jesus, who acts as the propitiation for sins. This means that Christ's sacrifice satisfies the demands of divine justice, allowing God to remain righteous while forgiving those who believe. The mystery of justification lies in the perfect alignment of God’s justice and mercy, realizing that God's attributes do not conflict, but rather function together in the act of redemption. This profound truth encourages believers that their standing before God is secured not by their works but by faith in Christ's completed work.
Romans 3:24-26, John 3:16
