Episode 198 - Dealing with Sin

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.In 1944, during a massive storm, the SS Richard Montgomery, a ship loaded with thousands of tons of bombs, broke up and sank not far from the English coast. Despite the danger posed by the unexploded ordinance, the decision was made to leave it in place for fear of setting off a massive explosion. It would be more dangerous to try to remove the bombs than it was to leave them in place. Every human being is born with a lethal danger within — a sin nature that we inherit passed down from Adam. But we are not just sinners by nature, we are also sinners by choice. Our sin problem requires a solution.Jesus Christ Himself was the only one to ever live perfectly and not carry the sin nature. When He died on the cross, He died in our place and we can receive the gift of salvation through Him. It is only by accepting His sacrifice on our behalf that we can have salvation.
