TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE WE NEED THE FORGIVENESS OF GOD

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 )
 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.
