Our Problem
Dear Everybody,
We have a serious problem:
All of us think we're good people.
But Jesus says we're not.
Sincerely, Brant P. Hansen
...PS. IF YOU THINK I'M WRONG-about how we think we're good people-I offer this challenge: Go ahead and ask someone. Seriously, if you're reading this at a coffee shop, ask the stranger sitting at the next table, "So, are you a good person? Would you say you're more moral than the average person?"
Given my studies in this area, I can predict their response with 98 percent confidence, and it's "I'm calling the police." But while the authorities are being dispatched, try to get a serious answer.
If they give you their honest take, you'll hear something like, "Why, yes, I do think I'm more moral than the average person." This is predictable because social scientists have asked these questions for decades, and the result is the same: We all think we're more moral than average. It's remarkable how good we are. Just ask us, and we'll tell you about it.
The Truth about Us "The Very Good News about How Very Bad We Are"
If man did not have a sin problem. Jesus would never have had to die, right?
Man's Problem of Sin and God's Provision for that Sin:
Rom 3:23 KJV - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 6:2 KJV - God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:23 KJV - For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 5:8 ...
