2.5. The original sin “Deliver us from evil" (Mt 6: 13) A light on the question of evil‚ so often obscured today‚ comes from the truth of the faith on original sin: man‚ departing from God by his own free will‚ experiences internal disruption‚ because the separation from the Father who gives life condemns him for this very fact to death.

For us to pass‚ we must do good things. We must do things that will make Him happy‚ not those things that will make him sad (sins). Of course

Sin is humanity’s greatest problem. Because of it‚ humans are separated from their Creator and cannot enjoy His promised blessings. Therefore‚ it is pertinent that the church has the proper view of sin. This starts with a proper definition from the apostle John‚ who states that sin is lawlessness (1 Jn. 3:4). What Lutherans believe regarding sin is different from this. They teach what is commonly known as original sin (Kolb 37-38). First‚ original sin should be defined. Original sin is the sin all
