Keep God's Word in your heart so that you will live purely in this world and escape its death.
Put away devilish diligence and instead diligently do what the LORD loves.
In the midst of punishing man's first sin God shows his amazing grace by giving his first promise of salvation.
The right response to the reality of misery is not to complain but to commit your way to the Lord with real repentance.
Because of Adam's first sin, the universal natural condition of man is to be dead in sin, under subjection to Satan and our own flesh, and under the just wrath…
You need to understand how far you've fallen in Adam so that you can better understand the curse of sin and the blessing of grace.
Represented by the first Adam you and I all sinned and died, but through faith in the second Adam, Jesus Christ, we are made righteous and alive again.
Even under the gravest threats, the LORD's people can always turn to him, trust in him, and triumph through him.
Every sin you commit is a horrific act of rebellion against God, requires Christ's work to take it away, and is not compatible with a life committed to Christ.
