If you haven’t been saved from your sins, or if you want to do a better job of evangelism, understand that Paul spells out well, what Jesus did for us. The Law (the Ten Commandments; Exodus 20) is God’s moral standard for us. If we break one of these Laws at any time in our lives, we are separated from Him. Ask yourself, “Have I ever stolen anything? Or lied?” Paul says to the Romans, “All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory” (
Romans 3:23). So, in other words, we have all broken God’s Law; we have all failed on a moral level, and therefore we need to be saved from this problem. Paul continues to explain our separation from God in
Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death…” Meaning, the price for sinning is that we die, but that is not the end. Paul continues in the same verse, “But the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord” (
Romans 6:23). So God became man to save us from our sins, because only God could meet the requirements of His standards (the Law). All one must do to be saved is “confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, then you shall be saved” (
Romans 10:9). This is why we need Jesus. If you haven’t done this already, get right with God. Put your faith and trust in Jesus, today. You will be a new creation; old things will pass away and behold, all things will become new (
2 Corinthians 5:17).
