#494: "Grave Robber" by Crowder
Manage episode 425290557 series 1080637
CLICK HERE for the episode guide to help you connect with Scripture through this song.
I love a good play on words. When you do a quick Google search of grave robbers, you discover it's a worldwide phenomenon usually perpetrated to take and profit from valuable artifacts or personal property. Crowder’s song “Grave Robber” attributes this title to God. But not in the way we normally think of a body snatcher who digs up graves for their own economic benefit. No. Our grave robber is snatching our souls from eternal death.
Moving from death to life is an important theme to study in Scripture. Join me on the journey from Ephesians to Romans, Genesis, and John.
In this episode, I discuss the following:

- Revisiting the original scene in Genesis to remind us of the details of the original sin - Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7, 22-24
- How sin separates us from God - Isaiah 59:2

- Completing word studies on "transgressions" and "sins"
- Weaving the truths together - Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:4-5, Hebrews 2:14-15, John 5:24

This Week's Challenge
Study four areas of Scripture with your eyes set on this idea of death and life. Look closely at the walking dead in Ephesians 2. Understand the contrast between Adam and Jesus in Romans 5. Go back to the beginning to remind yourself of the details of original sin in Genesis 2 and 3. Soak in the words of Jesus in John 5. And if you haven’t done so, heed the call of the Grave Robber. Accept His free gift of salvation and walk in newness of life.
