Summary

Home is where you fit. Home is where you can be yourself. But Genesis 3 tells us what’s wrong with the human race: we’re homeless. To see the great goods the gospel brings to us, we need to first see what’s fundamentally wrong with the human race. What we’re told here is that the condition of the human race is homelessness and exile, writ large. In this passage we see 1) that all human beings are exiles, 2) why we’re all exiles, and 3) how we can be brought home. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 10, 2016. Series: Bible: What We Are Receiving: The Gospel Goods. Scripture: Genesis 3:7-24. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
