Sin

As humans we are so prone to try to justify ourselves, to earn our place. But the bible teaches us that actually, no-one can be made acceptable in God’s sight by doing good things. It is made especially clear in Romans 3, as John explains.

At the start of the book of Romans, Paul is making it very clear for his readers that righteousness that depends on human effort cannot make us right with God. Before we can take hold of the gospel, we need to let go of self righteousness. Peter explains.

While it is not popular or always received enthusiastically today, Paul’s explanation of the gospel starts with bad news. Like a doctor giving a diagnosis, Paul explains the need we all have for Christ. Peter Explains.
