Abstract
As an important part of the reformed theology, common grace helps those in science and engineering fields to understand God’s economy and His will and purposes for the entire human race. Engineering is part of God’s common grace to mankind. He gave men this tool to help them fulfill His call to “subdue the earth”. However, due to the fallen nature of men, engineering is also corrupted by sin. Sin can appear in various forms, two of the common ones are personal and corporate (institutional) sins. Examples are given in each category. The redemptive work of Jesus Christ offers the only solution to the problem of sin. We can participate with more insight in Christ’s work by abiding in His Word, walking in His Spirit, and be a bold witness of His saving grace in our everyday lives.
