God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not
make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a
will and a freedom of choice. We chose to disobey God and go our
own willful way. This results in separation from God.
The Bible says ...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
-Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23
Our Attempts to Reach God
People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between
themselves and God ...
The Bible says ...
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it
leads to death." -Proverbs 14:12
"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your
sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." -Isaiah 59:2
