Step 2: Acknowledging the Problem: Our Separation
God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. God gave us a will and the freedom to choose. We chose to disobey God and go our own way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." —Romans 3:23 (NIV)
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." —Romans 6:23 (NIV)
People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God ...
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." —Proverbs 14:12 (NIV)
"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." —Isaiah 59:2 (NIV)
There is only one bridge to fill the gap.
My Goal is to Encourage Others by Sharing God's Love, Guidance, and Grace.
