Step 2: Our Problem: Separation |
|
|
|
|
God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and a freedom of choice. We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God.
The Bible says ...
- "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." —Romans 3:23 (NIV)
- "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." —Romans 6:23 (NIV)
Our choice results in separation from God

Our Attempts to Reach God
Throughout the ages, individuals have tried in many ways to bridge this gap ... without success ...
- "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." —Proverbs 14:12 (NIV)
- "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." —Isaiah 59:2 (NIV)
There is only one remedy for this problem of separation.
