Sin
brings all the problems and suffering in life and death to all. The Bible tells
us that we all have sin and need the forgiveness from God.
"There is not a righteous man on earth
who does what is right and never sins." (Ecclesiastes 7:20)
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God" (Romans 3:23).
We have done things
that are displeasing to God, which makes us deserving of punishment. Since all
our sins are ultimately against an eternal God, only an eternal punishment is
sufficient.
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." (1John 1:8 )
"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." (1John 1:8 )
All sin is ultimately an act of rebellion
against God (Psalms 51:4). As a
result, we desperately need God’s forgiveness.
If
our sins are not forgiven, we will spend eternity suffering the consequences of
our sins.
“Then
they (sinners) will go away to eternal
punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. ” (Matthew 25:46)
“Whoever believes in the
Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life,
for God’s wrath remains on them.” (John 3:36).May God bless you.
