Our Separation:
God created us in
His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us
as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God
gave us a will and freedom of choice.
We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We
still make this choice today. This results in separation
from God.
The Bible says…
“For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Our choice results in separation from God.
Our Attempts to Reach God:
People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between
themselves and God…
The Bible says…
“There is a way that seems right to a
man, but in the end it leads to death.” Proverbs
14:12
“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
No bridge reaches God…except one. |
