“Sin? Who, Me?”
"If we say that we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us."
1 John 1: 8
More people are claiming they don’t
believe in sin.
With the rise of secularism, the concept of sin is fading.
If there’s no God, at least no personal God, there are
no divine rules to govern us. So why feel guilty?
One person said, “I came to the realization that I don’t
believe in sin.I still admire Jesus a lot.” The contradiction
of that statement was lost on the man as he has a form of
godliness without power, purpose, convictions, or realities.
As one preacher said, “You have to get people
lost before you can get them saved.” In other
words, if people don’t realize they are lost,
they won’t sense their need for salvation.
That’s why we preach the “whole counsel” of God,
including its demands, warnings, and judgments.
And in times like these, it’s dangerous to ignore
the reality of
sin.
But how wonderful to embrace
the grace of God’s full and free
forgiveness!
"In spite of worldly success, I felt empty and purposeless.
Then…I realized I was a sinner in need of a Savior….I
surrendered my life to Christ….I realized that my life was
not my own. Rather, I knew I needed to live for Christ."
