THE OBSTACLE (OR BARRIER) – ADMITTING YOU’RE A SINNER!

 

Folks, Here’s A Common Statement, “YOU Christians Think EVERYONE Is Bad; Well, I’m Here To Tell YOU, That I’m A Good Person; After All, I’ve NEVER Killed Anyone!”  Question, According To Whose Standards?  Mankind’s OR GOD Almighty’s (And In Turn, Jesus Christ’s)?

WHAT IS SIN?

James 1:14-15

BUT, Each One Is Tempted, WHEN He Is Drawn Away (FROM GOD Almighty) – By His Own (Selfish) Desires, And Enticed (By Satan)!  THEN, When Desire Has Conceived, IT (Desire) Gives Birth – To SIN (To Rebel AGAINST GOD Almighty, To Miss The Mark Of GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness); And SIN, When IT Is Full-Grown – Brings Forth DEATH (BOTH Physical Death Of The Natural Body, AND THE LAKE OF FIRE, THE SECOND DEATH – EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

1 John 3:4

Whoever Commits SIN (To Rebel AGAINST GOD Almighty, To Miss The Mark Of GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness), Also Commits – LAWLESSNESS, And Sin – IS Lawlessness (To Rebel AGAINST GOD Almighty, To Miss The Mark Of GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness)!

Romans 3:10 & 23

AS IT IS WRITTEN: “THERE IS NONE – RIGHTEOUSNESS, NO, NOT ONE!”  FOR ALL (Mankind) HAVE SINNED (To Rebel AGAINST GOD Almighty) AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD (GOD Almighty; i.e., To Miss The Mark Of GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness)!

Now, Even The Secular World Is Aware Of The Holy Bible’s Ten Commandments; BUT, Let’s Look At Just 4 (Of The Ten), Shall We!

“YOU SHALL NOT MURDER!”

Matthew 5:21-22a

“YOU HAVE HEARD, THAT IT WAS SAID TO THOSE OF OLD, ‘YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, AND WHOEVER MURDERS WILL BE IN DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT!’  BUT, I (Jesus Christ) SAY TO YOU, THAT WHOEVER IS ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT!”

“YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY!”

Matthew 5:27-28

“YOU HAVE HEARD, THAT IT WAS SAID TO THOSE OF OLD, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY!’  BUT, I (Jesus Christ) SAY TO YOU, THAT WHOEVER LOOKS AT A WOMAN, TO LUST FOR HER, HAS ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER – IN HIS HEART!”

“YOU SHALL NOT STEAL!”

“YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS (LIE) AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR!”

[Read Exodus 20:1-17, Deuteronomy 4:15-19 & Deuteronomy 5:5-21, For More Details]

Folks, I Can Almost Guarantee YOU, That ALL Of Us (Myself Included) Have Broken ALL Four Of These Commandments (i.e. Have SINNED); And WE KNOW, That If We Break One, THEN We’ve Broken (Have Fallen Short Of) GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness!  PERIOD!

So, Standing Before GOD Almighty (OR In Reality, Jesus Christ), Do YOU Truly Believe That YOU Would Be Found Innocent, OR Guilty?  Well, The Obvious Answer Would Be, “Guilty As Charged” (WE’VE ALL SINNED); And There’s A Penalty For Breaking (For Falling Short Of) GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness – THE DEATH PENALTY!

I Didn’t Say It, GOD Almighty DID!

Romans 6:23

FOR THE WAGES (The Payment DUE) OF SIN (To Rebel AGAINST GOD Almighty, To Miss The Mark Of GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness, i.e., The Sin-Debt) – IS DEATH (BOTH Physical Death Of The Natural Body, AND THE LAKE OF FIRE, THE SECOND DEATH – EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER); BUT, THE GIFT OF GOD (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION) – IS ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER) – IN (AND THROUGH) CHRIST JESUS, OUR LORD!

So, According To GOD Almighty; WE (ALL Mankind) Have Already Been Sentenced To DEATH (BOTH Physical Death Of The Natural Body, AND THE LAKE OF FIRE, THE SECOND DEATH – EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER); That’s, Our Due (And Just) Punishment For Our Sin (To Rebel AGAINST GOD Almighty, To Miss The Mark Of GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s PERFECT Standard Of Righteousness)!  Are YOU With Me, So Far?  So, UNLESS We Can Change THIS Outcome; THAT’S, THE END RESULT – FOR EACH OF US!

In Other Words, We Can NOT Get Out Of (Escape) THE END RESULT – On Our OWN!  PERIOD!  We Need Someone To “SAVE” Us (i.e., A SAVIOR)!  That’s, The Obstacle (OR Barrier) – Admitting You’re A Sinner; And In Turn, In Need Of A SAVIOR (Jesus Christ)!

FOR THE GIFT OF GOD (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION) – IS ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER) – IN (AND THROUGH) CHRIST JESUS, OUR LORD!  PERIOD!

It’s Time To Get Jesus To People, And People To Jesus, As Quickly As We Possibly Can; BEFORE, IT’S TOO LATE – FOR THEM!  Amen.
