Hearts Aflame

The Ruin of Sin and the Hope of Grace

Dustin Benge

Journey into Edward Reynolds’ "Meditations on the Fall and Misery of Man" (1658), where he exposes sin’s ruin on humanity—shattering God’s image and plunging us into death (Romans 3:23, 6:23). From Adam’s fall, we’re broken, cursed, and lost. Yet Reynolds unveils a stunning hope: grace outshines sin’s darkness (Romans 5:20). Christ, the gift of eternal life, turns ashes into beauty (Isaiah 61:3), redeeming rebels into sons. This episode confronts our ruin and lifts us to grace’s triumph.
