We may not like to admit it, but it’s the truth…we have all sinned and not one of us can live up to God’s standard for His kingdom. That’s just the fact. Our God is Holy and perfect, and he cannot tolerate any sin…no matter how small or how large we might think that sin is. My human (and sinful) nature sometimes tricks me into thinking things like “I may not be perfect, but at least I’m not as bad as that person” or “I may not be perfect, but at least I don’t [insert bad thing here].” But such thinking is foolish and inconsistent with God’s Word. Sin is sin–no matter how “big” or how “small”–and all sin separates us from our Holy God. We are all sinners. That’s why we need a Savior.
