Our mixed up lives
In our self-centeredness we do not seek to live life as
our creator God intended. We turn our back on God and
seek to do things our way. We put other things before
God such as building wealth, developing careers,
accumulating knowledge, travel, sport, the pursuit of
happiness, romance, families, fame and power.
[Note: These things are not necessarily bad things,
except when we put them before God]. Daily we disobey
God through such things as dishonesty, boasting, greed,
swearing, and gossiping (to name a few).
The Bible tells us that
God hates sin and is saddened by it. Sin is essentially
doing things our way instead of God's way. (Isaiah
53v6). That is, seeking to please and glorify ourselves
instead of God. According to the Bible everyone has
sinned (Romans 3v23).
Because of our sin the
world is in a mess.
Because of our sin we are spiritually dead and separated
from God.
Because of our sin we can not live as God intended.
Because of our sin we deserve to be punished by God.
The Bible tells us that
"everyone must die once, and after that be judged by
God" (Hebrew's 9v27). Before a holy and righteous God
we are responsible for every sin that we have ever
committed. As God is good and just he must punish us
for our sins. Sadly, most people don't even realise
just what a dangerous position they are in.
The Good News of the
Gospel is that God has a rescue plan.
A plan which will enable you to live as God intended.
