God
created man in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not
make us like robots to automatically love and obey Him, but gave
us a will and freedom of choice. We chose to disobey God and go
our own willful way. The Bible calls this sin, which 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
through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Our
sin results in
separation from God.
None of our efforts can bridge this gap. There is only one remedy
for this problem of separation from God.
