Sin is present in every human being
It is a core disease of the heart that we cannot escape
It separates us from our Creator making it impossible to do
what God designed us to do
Sin robs us of inner contentment and peace
Puts us at war with fellow human beings
Renders us blind, weak, self-oriented and rebellious
Sin produces sorrow and pain reducing us to fools
Sin leads to death
There is only one way to be free of sin,
via the grace the cross represents
God planned the cross to defeat sin
His Son, Jesus, was a willing sacrifice for our sins
The Spirit, applies the cross to dissolve our hearts of stone
His lovingkindness gives us victory over sin
He invites us to “come in, come in”
Let us yield to Him, confess and follow him
His love has won over our hearts
When we sinners seek his help
He never turns away a request
He never says “no”
His response may delay an answer to our prayer
But a delay is never a denial
It is only his infinite love and wisdom planning
Something bigger and better for us
