Romans 3:23

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

To most people, some things seem less morally wrong than others. For example, you would probably agree that murder is pretty serious, and likely think of it as a worse sin than hatred or theft. And you probably consider theft a worse sin than lying or jealousy.

But this doesn't mean that because some of us do lesser sins we deserve eternal life. All sin makes us sinners. This includes everything from the smallest white lie to lust to murder. All sin makes us sinners, and all sin cuts us off from our perfectly holy God.

All sin, therefore, leads to death, because it disqualifies you from living with God, no matter how good your life seems in every other respect. Fortunately, God gave you a way--through Jesus Christ--to be forgiven from all your sin, regardless of how small or great. Jesus died to take your sins onto Himself and wipe your slate clean. He gave Himself up willingly for your sake because of His great love for you.

Are you ready to accept God's wonderful free gift of eternal life?
