I think the use of "insurrection" draws from one of the points of Calvinism-- total depravity. Because of the Fall, man is completely incapable of choosing to love God by his own nature. The Fall totally affected every part of man's being-- his motives, feelings, desires etc. and as a result, man chooses to serve himself. And being a son doesn't have to be a literal son-- just one who has been influenced by something particular. In that regard, I think mankind could be considered "sons of insurrection," because although we're created imagio dei and as part of God's orderly creation, the Fall fragmented his orderly creation. It's now part of our nature to serve ourselves and take our God-given gifts in use them in a non God-directed manner... aka sin... our rebellion against God's law. |
