When a person recognizes the awful reality of his sin before a holy God, he may be overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness and despair. He cannot escape the fact that he is a sinner, and he knows he cannot save himself.
But there is always hope! You see, it was for sinners that Jesus died, and He can replace, hopelessness and despair with confidence and unbounded joy.
Pride makes it difficult to acknowledge the wickedness in our heart. But admitting our sin is the first step to salvation.
Then we must place our trust in Christ and accept His wonderful gift. But remember, only the spiritually needy qualify for God's offer. Sinners are the ones for whom
Christ died! (DB)
"Man is dead IN sin, but JESUS can make him dead TO sin."
