#198 - Joby Martin // Man's Original Design and Sin's Devastating Impact
Podcast: The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle ThompsonPublished On: Fri Oct 03 2025
Description: God's original design for men included three key areas to bring Him glory: a will to obey, work to enjoy, and a woman to love. Sin broke this design when Adam failed to protect Eve from the serpent's deception, introducing rebellion and religion as two ways humans reject God.• Sin affected all three areas of God's design: our will to obey (struggling with sin), our work (thorns and thistles), and our relationships (conflict with our wives)• The solution isn't to "man up" but to "bend our knee and look up" to Jesus• Genesis 3 contains the first gospel promise—the coming "serpent crusher" who would defeat evil• Adam and Eve made coverings of fig leaves (religion), but God provided garments of skin (grace)• The first blood shed in human history pointed to Christ's sacrifice as the perfect covering for sin• At the cross, we see both perfect justice (sin punished) and perfect grace (Christ taking our place)• True masculinity begins with surrendering to Christ, not self-improvementSupport the showWant to connect?
