And my message and my preaching were very plain. I did not use wise and persuasive speeches, but the Holy Spirit was powerful among you. God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God s love and plan for his life.
Man is sinful.
This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin. Man is separated. Jesus is God s only provision for man s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God s love and plan for your life. He died in our place.
