I was devastated. My mom had placed a Bible in my room, and I began to read through Romans at nights. In doing so, I learned 5 truths that changed my life forever. God is holy God is perfect, without blemish, and can have nothing to do with sin. He is also as loving as he is just.
Man is sinful Sin is an archery term that means to miss the mark .
God has a bulls-eye of perfection, and man in incapable of hitting it on his own. Consequently, because God is just and can have nothing to do with sin, he must punish it by separating man eternally from his presence. Jesus Christ Jesus stepped in our place and took the punishment we were meant to bear. We are forgiven because of his death on the cross and made holy because of the life he lived on earth. We are saved by grace, not our works.
