JULY 17
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED

Scripture:  Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

     The Bible clearly tells us the conditions of all men, women, boys and girls.  The text verse says that “all have sinned”.  Every person that is born into this old world is a sinner.  We all possess a sinful nature.  Because of Adams sin in the Garden of Eden, sin has been passed down from generation to generation, to every person, to the whole world!  
    The text tells us that we have all “come short of the glory of God”.  This means that we are all sinners in need of a Savior.  The basic problem with man is sin.  In order for a person to be right with God that sin has to be dealt with.  It has to be removed.
    The Bible gives us the answer of how those sins can be removed.  It is only through the blood of Jesus that man’s sins can be washed away.  Jesus came to die on the cross, shed His precious blood, that our sins might be forgiven.  There at Calvary He took our place.  He who knew no sin became sin for us and bore all our sins in His own body on the cross.
    "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world"
(1 John 2:1-2).
    The only way we can ever get rid of sin is through Jesus and His shed blood. Nothing else will work. “What can wash away my sin, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.” If we will but recognize ourselves as sinners and repent of those sins and call on Jesus for Salvation, He will take care of our sin problem.  Why don’t you call on Him today and receive His cleansing power from your sin?
