When we use the word "sin," we usually think of our misdeeds—actions or habits we know are wrong. But those are specific sins, and they are the result of sin, the deeper spiritual disease that infects our souls. Sin is the cause; sins are the effect. Sin is the tree; sins are the fruit. Sin is the disease; sins are the symptoms.

I look forward to seeing Christ and bowing before Him in praise and gratitude for all He has done for us, and for using me on this earth by His grace—just as I am.

As much as we hate to admit it, we are sinners by birth. We are also sinners by choice. We are also sinners by practice.

You cannot come to Christ unless the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin.

The human race has the power right now to destroy itself. Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves.

We've tried calling sin "errors" or mistakes" or "poor judgment," but sin itself has stayed the same. No matter how we try to salve our conscience, we've known all along that men are still sinners; and the results of sin are still disease, disappointment, disillusionment, despair, and death.

Sin is a revolt against God.

The human conscience is often beyond the grasp of a psychiatrist . Humans are helpless to detach themselves from the gnawing guilt of a heart bowed down with the weight of sin. But where humans have failed, God has succeeded.

Many of the wicked are receiving their wages now. Many Christians who may not be succeeding according to the world's standards now, will reap great rewards in heaven.

But the judgment of God is not only an event that may take place some day in history when war or conflict might bring death to millions. His judgment is more than death—it is eternal banishment from the presence of God (2 Thessalonians 1:6—10; Revelation 20:11—15).

The Bible teaches that man's chief problem is spiritual.

Salvation is free! God puts no price tag on the Gift of gifts.
