What do the following texts reveal about the scope of the sin problem? How have you experienced it yourself or seen around you the reality of these texts?
John 2:25, Ps. 59:2, Jer. 17:9, Rom. 5:12, James 5:1-7, Isa. 5:23, 2 Thess. 2:10

When Jesus came to this earth He understood the condition of humanity. Mankind was in need of a Saviour to restore the image of God in it. After the fall the condition of many declined. Men reached the point where they would not hesitate in doing the most vilest things. The human heart is so deceitful the we ourselves are not fully capable of understanding our problem. Jesus was the one who would redeem us from the mistake that Adam made and the subsequent entrance of sin into the world. Jesus is the only person who can save us from our sins. God has instituted a final day of judgement where all will be accessed accordingly. We can rest assure that God is just and fair in all of his ways. Today we have the opportunity to receive the love of the truth so that was can stand confident before God. We must understand the scope of the problem to want the help of Jesus.

Who among us hasn't known deeply, personally, and painfully, just how bad the sin problem is? We live every moment of our lives with the reality of sin and its effects. Every aspect of human existence on this planet is, to some degree (a great one, in fact), dominated by the reality of sin. From politics to the innermost recesses of the human heart, sin has infected the race. It is so bad that, without a divine solution, there would be no solution. How grateful we should be that the solution has been given. It's called "the plan of salvation," and its purpose is to solve the problem of sin.

Prayer: Lord we are in a serious mess without you. Convict us to understand the scope of the problem and accept the help you offer. Thank you. In Jesus name amen.
