| WHAT IS SIN? (continued)
Remember that God hates ALL sin, but that He still loves the sinner. Now, carefully consider the following Bible verses:
I John 1:8
8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Romans 5:8
8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
I Peter 3:18
18For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,
I John 1:12
12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Romans 10:9
9That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Try reading those verses again out loud. What do they say to you?
