Sin and Redemption - Answers for Successful Living on SuccessAndFailure

Failure In Sin - Redemption Through Christ

Most of the world has eliminated the word sin. The bible says that we have all sinned
and fall short of God's standard. Our sin - seeking our own selfish way instead of
God's way, separates us from God. It hurts our relationship with others. Take
our good person test to see if you are a sinner. We can't achieve salvation ourselves.
Jesus is the only way to salvation to mend that broken relationship with God. It is a
free gift from God...we can not earn our way to heaven. God is merciful and wants,
relationship with us...that is why he gave his only son to die for us. Unlike all other
religions, Christianity is the only religion where God reaches out to us instead
of us reaching out to God.

This subject is so important that you need to spend time to research it...
your very soul depends on it. Need Prayer?

"The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can
know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every
man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 17:9-10 (NKJV)

The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if
there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No,
not one. Psalms 14:2-3 (NKJV)

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For
since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by
the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without
excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful,
but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to
be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image
made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore
God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies
among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served
the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Romans 1:18-25 (NKJV)

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who
takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29 (NKJV)

that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to
them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19 (NKJV)

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness
of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)

even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no
difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate
His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
Romans 3:22-25 (NKJV)

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the
things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin,
and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:20-23 (NKJV)
