The Three d'S of the Gospel

"We need to see the glorious against the backdrop of the perilous," he says. "The only way into the glory of verses four and five and six is through the dismal rehearsal of human failure in verses one to three" Paul doesn't locate our morality merely in what we're doing, but in the total package of who we are,. He's saying that the sphere of our deadness is our trespasses and our sins.
