Separated from God.gif (3684 bytes)wpe3.gif (5129 bytes)

Jesus said that He is the only way but you may be asking yourself why do you need Him?  First ask yourself...in your search for peace and joy in your life is there anything that has not let you down?  Like trying to be a Good Person, following a Philosophy or Religion, making money, sex, drinking or doing drugs, music, pornography? 

We need Jesus because of  the "S" word.  It is not a popular word these days but it is very important to God.  The "S" word is sin and sin is what separates us from God and will keep you from true peace.  The Bible tells us that:

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Proverbs 14:12

"But your iniquities have separated you from your God and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that he will not hear." Isaiah 59:2

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23


You may feel that you have not sinned or sinned bad enough.  What is sin? 

"Sin is transgression of the Law." 1 John 3:4b

So if sin is breaking Gods Law the "Ten Commandments" then where you stand?  Have you ever told one lie even a white lie?  Stolen anything even a pen or paperclip?   Hated someone because Jesus said that if you did, you are a murderer.   Felt lust for someone that you are not married to?  If so then the Bible says that you have committed adultery in your heart!  Maybe you have misused God's Name or not honored your parents. There are more but all you need to do is break just one and you have sinned.  The Bible tells us that there will be a Day of Judgment.  On that day Jesus will separate righteous from the rest.  The fate of the rest is...

"And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Matthew 25:46

You may try to convince yourself that your sins are small but God is not interested in the size but the deed.  There are no small sins!  The amazing part is that even though we are sinners, God loves us and has made a way to Him.  The next page will explain God's plan for you.
