Sin separates man from God.
You need only to go back and read the third chapter of Genesis for the
sad account of Adam and Eve and their failures in the Garden. As a result of their actions God forever
removes them from his presence. A condition
we all face prior to salvation is our eternal separation from God.
As it is written: “There
is no one righteous, not even one” – Romans 3:10
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven. God is loving and just, his judgment is
against sin, and we are all sinners. How
then can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no sin?
Mercy triumphs over
judgment. – James 2:13
Just as we are inclined to communicate the necessity of
forgiveness and it’s availability; it is also of upmost importance that we realize
access to God is impossible apart from God’s own means.
