El sermón "El malo" de Joel Coyoc se centra en la depravación total del ser humano y la arrogancia del malo según lo expresado en Salmo 10:6-13. Coyoc argumenta que el verdadero problema del malo es el estado de su corazón, que está endurecido y en rebelión contra Dios, lo que se manifiesta en acciones y pensamientos que desprecian al Creador. Se mencionan relevantes pasajes bíblicos, como el ejemplo de Nabucodonosor en Daniel, para ilustrar cómo el orgullo y la autosuficiencia conducen a la ruina. El sermón enfatiza que solo a través de la obra de Cristo se puede transformar a los que estaban perdidos, resaltando la importancia de reconocer la verdad sobre la condición humana y la necesidad de gracia divina. Esta enseñanza resuena con la doctrina reformada de la salvación únicamente por gracia y la soberanía de Dios en la redención.

The Bible describes the wicked as arrogant, deceitful, and without regard for God, as seen in Psalm 10.
In Psalm 10, the wicked are portrayed as individuals who arrogantly pursue the poor and have no thoughts of God. Their hearts are filled with deceit and malice, and they believe they will never be moved or face misfortune. This psalm starkly contrasts the condition of the wicked with the righteous, emphasizing the total depravity of those who reject God. The psalmist highlights that the wicked's confidence stems from a belief in their own sovereignty and strength, as they dismiss divine oversight and judgment. It serves as a warning to recognize the seriousness of their rebellion against God and the eventual justice that will be meted out.
Psalm 10:6-13
Total depravity is evident in the consistent biblical teaching of humanity's sinful nature and need for redemption.
The doctrine of total depravity is grounded in Scripture that teaches all humanity has fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). This means that every part of humanity is affected by sin—our thoughts, will, and emotions are all tainted. The consistent witness of Scripture illustrates that outside of Christ, we are incapable of seeking God or doing good (Romans 3:10-12). Understanding our depraved condition is crucial, as it magnifies the grace of Christ and our need for His redemptive work. It encourages believers to appreciate the depth of God's mercy and the transformational power of the Gospel that brings us from death to life.
Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10-12
Understanding sin deepens a Christian's appreciation for God's grace and the necessity of salvation through Christ.
Recognizing the depth of our sin is vital for every Christian because it places our need for salvation at the forefront of our faith. When we truly understand the gravity of our sinful state and the consequences that follow, we can fully appreciate the sacrificial love of Christ. This understanding anchors our faith, reminding us that salvation is solely by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). Furthermore, it leads to a transformed life where we no longer live in arrogance but in humility and dependence upon God, recognizing that every good work we do flows from His grace. In seeing our true condition, we are compelled to share the Gospel with others, knowing that like us, they too need the Savior.
Ephesians 2:8-9
