Ye Shall Be As Gods, 03/31/91

Summary

The sermon addresses the spiritual darkness in the world caused by sin and the deception of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, who promised that humans would be like gods knowing good and evil. It emphasizes that true control and salvation belong to God alone, not to man, countering the popular but false doctrine that humans can decide their own eternal destiny. The preacher warns against modern philosophies that elevate man and promote self-centeredness, urging believers to rely on God's word as the true light in a dark world. Biblical examples such as Genesis 3, Romans 9:16, Isaiah 14, and Genesis 11 illustrate the dangers of pride and the futility of human attempts to be like God.
