Sin (2)

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23. Sin entered into the world through Adam, and all men were conceived in sin, except our Lord Jesus Christ. Sin is the transgression of the Law and it's of the devil. The Bible clearly said in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 " Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." Then if we all know this, why do them? The plan of the devil is to make sin look so simple in the eyes of men, that even when it's being done, there won't be any form of remorse-fulness. Apparently it's working.
The only thing that separates man from God is sin. The God we serve hates sin, how can we come before Him with sinful garment, filled with spots, blemish and wrinkles and expect Him to hear and answer our prayers? No! we must first of all be righteous as He is. We are righteous because of Jesus. Our saviour did  lots of things on Calvary for us. How can sinful man ever stand before the Almighty? But now, when we ask Jesus to cleanse us with His blood sincerely from our hearts, He makes us perfect enough to meet the Father. "come let us reason together "says the Lord. " Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool" Isaiah 1:18.
God's grace is sufficient, now you are alive. When you die, immediately comes judgement. "And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." 1corinthians 6:9. Ask Jesus to wash your sins away with His blood, and make you whole again. He Loves the sinners but He hates sin.
Shalom!
