This might sound
like a contradiction to what you used to hear but it is the gospel truth. The problem
of sin is over whosoever that is sinning doing so because of his nature. In Romans 5:12 “…by one man sin entered
into the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men for that all
have sinned.” So, sin is an inherit
nature from Adam, it does not matter if you are born into a Christian family or
non- Christian family all have sinned. Let see what Romans 5:14 says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,
even them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression,…” so the same sin of Adam was what made everyone
on earth sinners so the sin you commit daily is because of that nature in you. Nobody
can be free from the problem of sin on their own so everybody is a sinner.
The redemption
work of Jesus Christ
God saw that man
can’t help himself or free himself from sin and He brought Jesus Christ. John 3:16, “for God so love the world
that He gave His only begotten son…” He gave His son to destroy the works of
darkness, to destroy the power of sin in the world and the lives of men, to
destroy sickness. Jesus did not come to make us religious. Jesus came to make
us righteous, He gave us His life so can be righteous of God in Him. Romans 5:15
“…for if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God,
and the gift of grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto
many.” Christ brought the grace of God to man.
So, rejecting the
work of Christ in the cross of Calvary will cost you your life. Heb. 2:3, “How shall we escape, if we
neglect so great salvation…” it is accepting Christ in your life that can take
you to heaven. It is not self-righteous which has never pleased God from the
beginning and will never today. Knowing Jesus as your Lord and saviour is what
matters to God. If you are reading this message and you don’t know Jesus as
Lord and savior, you are out of phase and you are going to find it hot in hell. Romans
5:17, “For as by man’s offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
