Jesus Came to Remove the Root of Sin - Zac Poonen
Summary
Jesus came to address the root of sin, which the Old Covenant could only manage by cutting off the visible 'fruit' of sin. The speaker explains that the true origin of sin lies in the heart, stemming from pride, as seen in the fall of the angel described in Ezekiel 28. True spiritual progress requires allowing Jesus to deal with this internal root, rather than remaining satisfied with superficial religious observance or outward good works.

The speaker argues that the root of all sin originates from the pride described in Ezekiel 28:17, where a being's heart was lifted up. This pride, which stems from comparison, is what God opposes, making humility the necessary antidote. Salvation, conversely, is found in adopting the attitude described in Philippians 2:5—having the mind of Christ—which is the opposite of sin's root.
