What To Do With Your Sins?

More at: http://www.FaithBrowser.com

Before Adam & Eve disobeyed God, there was no sin
in the world. After they sinned, sin and death
came into the world. God did not excuse their sin
and make it simply go away. There was a
consequence to their sin even though it was only
one sin. There was a punishment they had to bear.
A price to be paid for that one single sin. What
was the punishment? They were driven out of the
Garden, and they had to endure a spiritual
separation from a holy God.
We read that Adam & Eve tried to make things right
by making for themselves a covering of leaves to
hide their sin, their shame and their guilt. But
it was unacceptable to God. God Himself had to
act. Because of His love for His creation, God
Himself had to provide for them a proper covering
made of skin. Where did this skin come from?
Obviously, from an animal, probably a sheep or a
lamb, which God Himself sacrificed for Adam & Eve.
This is how terrible sin is. Sin results in death,
even the death of an innocent animal.
The good deed that Adam & Eve tried to do for
themselves in covering their nakedness was
hopeless and not accepted by God. Instead, God
Himself covered their shame, guilt and sins with
the blood-stained skin garments. This was the only
way Adam & Eve could be properly covered, forgiven
and accepted again by God.
Remember, this was the consequence of one single
sin that Adam & Eve committed.
How many sins have you & I committed all our
lives? Let? say you commit just one sin a day,
and you are now 25 years old, for example. You
would have committed a total of 9,125 sins of
disobedience against God in your life. You think
your good deeds can save you? Have you done 10,000
good deeds in your life to balance out the 9000+

sins? And how do you know if your good deeds are

even accepted by God? God says your so-called
good deedsare like filthy rags to Him!
Adam & Eve did not escape punishment even though
it was just one sin! Do you think you can escape
punishment with your sins? Adam & Eve? so-called
good deed was rejected by God. Man cannot save
himself no matter how hard he tries and no matter
how many good deeds he does. Only God can save us.
He has to provide forgiveness of our sins on His
terms not ours.
Thousand of years later when, John the Baptist saw
Jesus, he knew who Jesus was and why He came.
That is why John the Baptist exclaimed: This is
the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the
world!
Hebrews 9:28 So also Christ died once, for all
time, as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many
people. He will come again, not to deal with our
sins, but to bring salvation to all who are
eagerly waiting for him.
Jesus is God's sacrifice for all your sins. You
can either accept God's sacrifice for your sins
and be forgiven, like Adam & Eve did. Or you can
go ahead and keep trying out 10,000 good deeds and
never have any assurance of forgiveness of sins in
your whole life until you leave this world.
There is only one way. There is no other way.
Jesus said, I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No one comes to the Father except though Me.
