Sin (defined by the Ten Commandments in God's Word [=the Bible])
God’s standards are so holy and high that none of us could pass judgment without being condemned to death (read my blog post titled "Good Friday" in March 2008). "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 How? Look at the Ten Commandments and see how you, yourself personally, measure up. Read Exodus 20:1-17 in the Bible (NIV(New International Version) is an easy version to read) Deuteronomy 5:6-21
1. Have no other god before Me Deut. 5:7 (Jesus Christ is the only way to God John 14:6)
2. Do not worship any idols. Deut. 5:8
3. Do not take the Lords name in vain Deut 5:11(Jesus Christ as a "four-letter word)
4. Keep My Sabbath Holy Deut. 5:12
5. Honor your father and mother Deut. 5:16 (who is my mother, brother Mark 3:33, Matthew 10:34-37)
6. Do not murder. Deut. 5:17 (Jesus says if you have hate in your heart towards anyone you have murdered Matthew 5:21-22) murderers have part in the lake of fire
7. Do not commit adultery (Jesus said if any [hu]man lusts after [someone] in their heart [mind] then they have committed adultery Matthew 5:27-28)
8. Do not steal [this includes "petty" items, i.e. pens, pencils] (all thieves have part in lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
9. Do not lie (all liars have their part in the lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
10. Do not covet (desire to have others items without your own gain; perverse jealousy Deut. 5:21)
If you say you haven't broken any, you're deceived, and you just lied breaking the 9th. Still not convinced? Take the "good person" quiz @ http://www.wayofthemaster.com/goodperson.shtml and see how you line up in the light of God's standards (not human, not our own). If you desire to be set free from God's wrath in the life to come you must make Jesus the Lord of your life here on earth. This is His standard, His way. He says "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except by Me." John 14:6 But the good news is He's paid the price for our sins, so instead of death we may have life, thru His Son Jesus Christ. If you desire to escape the wrath to come, then pray the prayer below to Jesus Christ and read the Bible daily and get in a church based on the Bible alone as it's standard.
