Discussion Questions: Baptist Catechism 21 & 22

  1. Did human beings cease to be human when Adam fell into sin? In other words, were they no longer image-bearers?  Stated one more way, did human beings lose any faculties (the ability to think rationally, feel emotion, and make free choices) when Adam fell? If not, then what changed? 
  2. What effects did Adam’s fall into sin have on the human condition? Our catechism lists three things.  
  3. What is the result of man’s fallen condition? How does this affect man’s behavior?
  4. What does this teaching reveal about our need?
  5. What does this teaching have to do with Jesus Christ and the gospel? Try to connect some dots, theologically speaking.

warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom,
