Must we obey God all the time?
· Our sin is a very serious thing.
· When do we break God's law? Every time we do something wrong.
· God loves us even when we sin but He cannot just overlook our sin.
· Every sin against God's law must be punished.
· Obeying God most of the time is not good enough.
· If you could obey God your whole life and sin against Him only one time that one sin would be enough to make you guilty before God.
· The punishment for sin against God is very severe.
· As God told Adam in the garden the penalty of sin is everlasting spiritual death.
· There is no way we could pay for our own sins without suffering forever in hell.
· A person might follow all of God's law. But if he fails to obey even one command he is guilty of breaking all the commands in that law. James 2:10
· My guilt has overwhelmed me. Like a load it weighs me down. Psalm 38:4
