THE PROBLEM WITH SIN
Section I
GOD IS!
Almost all people have the desire to live forever. No one likes to view the grave as our final resting place. However, there is a serious problem that hinders our hopes and makes us question our destiny. This is the problem of sin. All of us struggle in our relationships both with God and our fellow man. In our struggle to please God, we stumble. There are many who do not know what the will of God is, and thus, sin without knowing that they sin. However, there are those who know His will but still sin. People sin either willingly, or ignorantly in their struggleto please God.
We also have struggles in our lives with other people. God has given directions for us to guide our behavior with others. However, we often ignore these directions, and thus, we cause harm to others and embarrassment to ourselves. We sin. Life, therefore, is a struggle. This is why God gave us the Bible. He gave it to us to give hope to those who are struggling in life and realize that they need help to please God.
Sin causes us to have a bad conscience or a feeling of guilt. In order to deal with this guilt, many religious people who do not know the Bible, have simply developed their own solutions to take care of their sin. As a result, there are many religions in the world today that have been developed by religious people in an effort to deal with the problem of sin. Unfortunately, God does not accept man's worship or religious inventions that are created by the imaginations of those who know little or nothing about the Bible.
God is our creator. The fact that He is our creator means that He is the one who must tell us how to worship and serve Him. We must allow Him to tell us how to have a relationship with Him and one another. This means that we must focus on God's law and our problem of sin against His law. When we do this, great things will happen in our lives.
