Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Chapters One and Two, present a dark picture of the human race, but acknowledge the facts they record and you have taken the first step to salvation. By nature we shrink from facing up to our sins, but we are better off if we do.
If a man has early indications of cancer, and his physician keeps the truth from him, the patient will die of cancer. A good and wise physician will say: “You have cancer and we should do something about it without delay.”
Thus God, in His Word, tells us very frankly about our sinful condition, but only to save us from it.
This is where most philosophies and the Bible clash head-on. Most philosophies close their eyes to man’s sinful nature. They presume that man is good by nature when overwhelming evidence bears witness that he is sinful by nature. Thus human philosophies offer no salvation from sin and its just penalty. Only “the gospel of the grace of God” does that.
The Bible says of the whole human race: “All have sinned” (Rom. 3:23), and to each individual: “Thou art inexcusable” (Rom. 2:1). But the same Bible says: “Christ died for our sins” (I Cor. 15:3), and “We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7).
Trust in Christ for salvation and you have accepted God’s great message to the world. source
