The Bible proclaims that God is holy and that man is sinful .
Sin is more than lying, stealing, or living an immoral life.
Sin creates a vast gulf between us and God that even our most noble efforts cannot bridge. This makes it impossible for us to have a personal relationship with Him. In a careful study of the most popular religions of the world, you would soon become aware that no provision is made for the forgiveness of sin apart from the cross of Jesus Christ. Most religions embrace the philosophy of good works as a means to salvation. Man subscribes to the concept that if his good works outweigh his bad works, he will go to heaven, but if his bad works outweigh his good works, he will go to hell - if there is a hell.
