Sin does not define our nature.
It infects our nature.
We do not sin because we are human.
Sin robs us of our humanity.
Jesus came to make us human again.
The Holy Spirit works in you
calling you, renaming you, and reclaiming you
not so you can be more than human
but to reshape you
into the lovely human being
that God created you to be
and that you are
right now.
In Joy,

As humans, we have a sinful nature aka "concupiscence". I like the twist you present with sin ridding (or robbing, wink) of our humanity...and how Jesus came to make us (fully) human again. As ever!
This is not meant as criticism, just something that fell strange on my ear.
Sin rids us of our humanity troubled me a bit. Maybe it's an American point of view or language difference.
For me rids is a positive word defined as "freeing someone or something of an unwanted thing."
Personally I would have used robs or cons or strips.
