‘’There is no difference; for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.’’
‘’But God commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’’ Romans 3: 22, 23; 5:8.
Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, whose story is told in Genesis chapters 3 and 4, are our ancestors, and we can’t deny it. Our nature has been determined by our descent. We all bear the imprint of original sin with the result that we commit sins and become guilty before God.
The sentence passed by God applies to all: His judgment follows after death. But there is a remedy, but only through Jesus, who was crucified, paid the debt that we owe God.
It does not mean that we can go on doing sins and Lord Jesus saves us always. God saves us only to some extent .If we commit sin (or sins in minimum number) and confess sincerely, God certainly excuse us, because God sees our heart , not our mind which is highly unstable.
For example, the following sins are committed by some people in the day to day life:
1. Politics without principles
2. Business without morality
3. Charity without sacrifice
4. Misuse of atomic energy for preparing bombs, to be used in wars,
5. Abuse of sex, that is having multiple partners (that is why the threat of HIV/AIDS all over the world).
6. Taking and giving bribes (for unlawful personal gains).
7. Purporting violence.
We sincerely never should do or encourage, the above sort of sins. Then the Lord loves us very much.
How many people sincerely believe the God?
The simple rule is: “A sincere believer does not commit any sin or wrong, because he is loyal to God’’. Whatever God gives, he simply accepts. The true believer lives righteously. This is acid test for any believer, not to do unlawful deeds.
Jesus bore the judgment that should have befallen us. So whoever believes in Him is now free from all guilt and judgment.
Sincerity always pays. Hypocrisy never does pay. Part time devotion is almost equal to atheism (not believing in God). When God is with you, you need not worry for anything.
