Our Problem

Our Problem

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

We have a problem: We are not holy, and “anyone whose life is not holy will never see the Lord” (Heb. 12:14).

Our deeds are ugly. Our actions are harsh. We don’t do what we want to do, we don’t like what we do, and what’s worse—yes, there is something worse—we can’t change.

We try, oh, how we try. But “Can a leopard change his spots? In the same way, Jerusalem, you cannot change and do good, because you are accustomed to doing evil” (Jer. 13:23).

We, like Adam, were under a curse, but Jesus “changed places with us and put himself under that curse” (Gal. 3:13).

The sinless One took on the face of a sinner so that we sinners could take on the face of a saint.
