Steps to Peace - Part Two: The Problem

The Problem: Our Separation
God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us like robots who would automatically love and obey Him. Rather, God gave us a will and a freedom to choose. When we chose to disobey God and go our own willful way, it results in separation from God.

The Bible says...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

People have tried many ways to bridge the gap between themselves and God... but the Bible tells us ...
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." Proverbs 14:12 "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, sos that he will not hear." Isaiah 59:2 No bridge reaches God ... except one.

Tune in tomorrow for the answer ...
