WE ARE ALL SINNERS YES! It may come as a surprise, but we are all, naturally sinners. We all have, and do lie, cheat, chase after personal desires and fame. We live for ourselves, seldom recognizing our Creator or our Saviour. It's not just a Murderer or Drug Dealer, it's you and me. We are born, naturally, into sin. The Bible tells of it.. as the oldest story... Adam and Eve. In the New Testament, Romans 3:23 states it directly "For All have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Yes, not only are we all sinners, but that in separates us.. that is keeps us from.. we come short of an ability to be in the glory of God.
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH It sounds BAD, but it's true. Perhaps you could relate, if I said the penalty for speeding is a ticket.. the penalty for selling drugs is jail time. That's what it means, when the Bible states in Romans 6:23 The Wages of Sin is Death. Meaning, our wrong goings.. our sin has a price. Our destination, when we die, will be a trip to Hell. This destination of hell, is not like heaven. It is eternal torment, eternal dieing.
BUT, THERE IS HOPE! That verse, speaking of the Wages of Sin being Death, continues to say "BUT, the Gift of God is Eternal Life, through Jesus Christ our Lord" In other words, our rightful penalty and just reward for our natural life of sin, is Death... Hell, BUT God doesn't desire that. He provides a Gift, if we wish to receive it. The Gift of God is Eternal Life... that sounds Awesome... through Jesus Christ our Lord. Ok, so to receive this Gift of God of Eternal Life, it is received, when we receive Jesus Christ. Through that relationship with Jesus, we will realize the Gift of God... Eternal Life!
