Sin is not loving God enough to do what he wants us to do
James Kraft
Any thought, deed or action that is not the perfect righteousness of God is sin. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All, not some, but all.
Romans 6:23 For the penalty of sin is death. We all sin, and we all die. The bad news. The good news. The GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 3:26-28 For He is the just and the justifier of them that BELIEVE in Jesus. Since Jesus paid our sin debt in full, we have nothing to boast in.
We are in the church age. Ephesians 3:5 We are in a dispensation of grace. Not known until after Jesus went to the cross for us. Romans 11:6. All grace, no works. Romans 4:5.
Since we are all sinners, we have no way to pay our sin debt to God. Jesus paid our sin debt in full so we can never be condemned again. Romans 4:7-8. Colossians 2:13. He has forgiven us all trespasses.
Jesus paid the debt and set us free. John 3:18 by a one time faith alone in Jesus one blood sacrifice. First John 2:2. John 6:40. John 5:24. John 6:47. The simplicity of the gospel.
First Corinthians 15:1-4. Though we or and angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you, let them be accursed. As we said before, so say I again. If any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that ye have received from us, let him be accursed.
The simplicity of the gospel. Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house. John 3:16-18.
Jesus paid the debt and set us free from the penalty of sin which is the second death. Born once die twice. Born twice die once. Ephesians 1:13-14. Ephesians 4:30..
