Road Trip - Part 2

"For the wages of sin is death," - Romans 6:23

Last time we learned that no one is good and that there is no amount of good things that anyone can do to earn entrance into heaven. As the disciples once asked Jesus, "Who then can be saved?"

Not only are we not good enough to get into heaven, no matter what we do, but our sins will result in our ultimate eternal "death." Even if we think we've been good.

Wow! This is really depressing. And here we thought that EVERYONE goes to heaven when they die. We've been lied to.

What a dismal future we all have. If only God would have mercy on us.....

It has been said that "It's always darkest before the dawn." That's especially true when it comes to our sin.

We were born sinful. In darkness, if you will.

"The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth." - Psalm 58:3

But God....provided a way for us to live and to gain entry into heaven. Just like He provided a way for His people to leave Egypt and to enter The Promised Land. Zurely God had given us a reason to have hope in this ever-darkening world.

More on that next time.

[Come back on Saturday to find out just what happens. This short series on the Romans Road to Salvation DOES have a happy ending, but sadly, only for some]
