Dead to sin, alive to God in Christ
Faustino de Jesús Zamora VargasThe Bible teaches that sin is not only real, but also leads to death (1 Cor 15:22) and separates us from God. Sin directly insults and grieves our Creator. Today there are several popular opinions about sin and all are contrary to the Word of God. Some say that since "man is essentially good" he does not need to repent, but to constantly reform; Others use the pretext of widespread evil in the world - from which no human being can escape - to live depraved and uncontrolled. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 Jn 1.8)
God starts from a totally opposite criterion: we are all born sinners (Ro 5: 12-14) therefore sin is in the nature of the human being, so that he cannot get rid of it on his own account. Consequently, God has provided a heavenly solution so that sinful man can obtain forgiveness and salvation and be reconciled to Him.
