You've come this far, so don't stop now! If God can be believed not only to be,
but to be trusted then there are four very important things He has said concerning
our position, the price for being in that position, the payment made for that debt,
and the prize awarded those who receive that payment:
Our Position
Our position according to God is universal. That is, we're all in the same proverbial
boat -
WE ARE ALL SINNERS
Here's what He says about this in Romans 3:10 and again in verse 23:
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not"
one:
and...
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
If my guess is correct, and you're truly searching, then this probably comes as
no surprise to you. God is righteous and holy. We, are not. We lie. We lust.
We're proud. Even if we've never done any of these things, we've had the thought.
In truth, no one can honestly say of themselves, "I have no sin!"
So, do you believe God so far? If so, then see what He has to say about this position
we find ourselves in...
