Suppose
you are really thirsty and I offer you a huge 64 oz glass of water. I’m sure
you would be more than grateful and drink most of it right away.
But now let’s suppose that before I give you the
water I put a drop of arsenic in it. Would you drink it now?
Of course not. Even though it is a huge glass of
water that one little drop of arsenic ruins the whole thing causing it to be
undrinkable.
That is the way it is with sin. Just one sin in
our whole life causes us to be
unworthy and keeps us from Heaven. God’s standard to get into Heaven is to be
perfect and none of us are perfect.
Be ye therefore perfect even as my Father in
Heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
That is why we need Jesus. He lived the perfect
life for us and paid for our sins on the cross.
