Sin is a moral disease!

The first step to becoming a follower of our Savior Jesus Christ is to understand we are morally diseased and that disease is sin. We must understand we are sinners and we need to be saved from sin! Until one discovers he is a terrible sinner in the eyes of God and he is in a terrible condition, he will not understand the need for Jesus to save his soul!

JC Ryle said this: “Sin is a disease which pervades and runs through every part of our moral constitution, and every faculty of our minds.”

Most people think they are pretty good compared to someone else and this keeps them from coming to Jesus for salvation. One must realize there is no good in any of us outside Jesus. Look at these verses:

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.

Romans 3:12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.”

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Genesis 6:5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”

I hate to burst your bubble this morning but your a sinner, a bit time sinner before a Holy and Righteous God! You are sin diseased! So am I! The key is are you a forgiven sinner by the blood of Jesus Christ or are you unforgiven? The good news is you can be!!! Call upon Jesus today and follow Him the rest of your days!

Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
