“From the CROSS to the CROWN there is
earnest work to be done. There is wrestling
with inbred sin; there is warfare against
outward wrong. The Christian life is a battle
and a march. Let us go forward, for we are
striving for an immortal crown.” {Review and
Herald, November 29, 1887}.
What is inbred sin?
“Selfishness is inwrought in our very being.
It has come to us as an inheritance…”
{Historical Sketches, 138}.
How long do we have to wrestle with
inbred sin? FROM THE CROSS TO THE
CROWN, we will have to contend with our
selfish nature throughout the whole duration
of our Christian life.
Child of God, inbred sin may remain from the
cross to the crown but does not have to reign.
