Sin unbridled would have resulted forthwith in the total degeneracy of human life. But God arrested sin in its course in order to prevent the complete annihilation of his handiwork, which naturally would have followed. By his common grace God restrains the working of sin in the natural man. By common grace he tames men as wild animals may be tamed and become attractive as domestic animals.
