Does the doctrine of total depravity teach that we have lost the image of God?
Summary
The sermon explores the doctrine of total depravity, emphasizing that sin corrupts every aspect of our being, from mind to body. Despite this profound fallenness, the image of God, though marred, is not annihilated in humanity, as illustrated by the biblical justification for capital punishment in Noah's time. The practical takeaway is that even in our fallen state, our inherent capacity for reason, choice, and affection, though distorted, demonstrates the enduring presence of the imago Dei.
