The Bible is God’s love story to written to us
Let’s begin with the bad news
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
Each of us have been born in sin, with a sin nature
We are blinded in sin.
Scripture tells us that men love darkness rather than light
We have spurned God’s law
We are bound and shackled in the chains of sin
Chains of pride, selfishness
Chains of envy and jealousy
Sinful chains of lust
Chains of addiction, laziness, indifference, ambivalence
Our transgressions are many
Our sins outnumber the grains of sand
We stand helpless and broken
Our situation is bleak
If you, O Lord, kept a record of wrongs, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness, therefore you are feared
Here is the good news
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the precious blood of Jesus
That can cleanse every sin, every stain, every addiction.
He died so that you might live
Repent and turn to God
so that your sins may be wiped out
and times of refreshing may come from the Lord
There is no one too far gone
There is no one beyond the reach of Almighty God
Jesus can break the chains of sin and death
He can shatter every chain that binds you
Turn to him, trust in him today
