Now He Himself is working in my life to change me and make me more like His Son. He has given me a genuine desire to know Him better and to please Him by the things I do and say. He also gives me the power to live in a way that pleases Him, a power which even the best-intentioned human being can never possess on his or her own. He gives us His commandments in order that we may see that we are sinners in need of salvation. He tells us about hell in order that we may understand that sin must be judged and punished, and in order that we may appreciate what He desires to save us from.
Sin is just a quaint old-fashioned notion as far as society is concerned.
Unfortunately, sin is still as real, and horrible, and destructive, and worthy of God's judgment as it ever was. We've just seared our consciences so much that we don't realize how serious our sin really is. The problem is with us, not with the Bible or with God. Every mouth will be silenced, and the whole world held accountable to God. That's a fearsome thing, indeed.
