NO TRUE NEUTRAL:
"All have sinned..." or; you're no special case kiddiccarus!



There is no such thing as true neutrality; you will find that you are leaning toward one side or the other. We all are inherently evil. We are born in sin, seeking our own and ignoring the needs of others from the git-go.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Whose mouth is full of bitterness:
Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Destruction and misery are in their ways:
And the way of peace they have not known:
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
-Romans 3:10-18

"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God;"
-Romans 3:23

Those verses of scripture describe me, you and everyone.


WE ARE ALL KILLERS and WHO WILL PAY THE PENALTY?


The answer to our sinful condition is the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, his blood,which is without sin, for he knew no sin, is the only thing that can satisfy the Law of God.
We all know about the law. On earth, specifically in this country, there are speed limits. If you break one and are caught you will be ticketed and fined. This must be done to satisfy the law. For without enforcement, the law would be without effect.
God's law is the same, the main difference being that God sees all, so we will always be caught in our sin, and God is a just judge, that cannot be bought off or convinced to do anything that is evil. Why? Because God owns everything and everyone and is all-powerful and will not be convinced.
So when God catches us in sin, (which is the breaking of His law) there is a penalty that must be enforced for the law to have effect. What is that penalty? Death.
The penalty is death because when we have broken one commandment or law, we have broken them all; and the punishment for the worst offense is death.

"Thou shalt not kill."
-Exodus 20:13

"He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death."
-Exodus 21:12

If we kill, we are not obeying the law, which also means we are breaking two other laws as well.

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart , and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self.
On these two comandments hang all the law and the prophets.
-Matthew 36-40

But, WE ARE ALL KILLERS. Jesus has said so in the scriptures.

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgement:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement:
-Matthew 5:21-22a

Anger is what leads to murder; we all have been angry in our lives.

What can we do? Jesus gives us the answer in the scriptures.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(You see Jesus does not condemn us, he came to save us from the penalty of our sin. We condemn ourselves, as it is written-)
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

JESUS DIED IN OUR PLACE TO SATISFY THE LAW.

All that to say you are no special case, we all have done quite a bit good and bad in our lives. Only Jesus can save us from the consequence of our actions: which is an eternity in Hell.

Again, Jesus loves you and so do I.
I am not perfect, and neither is my life, but I have hope in the next life because of Jesus Christ. That is why I have peace, no matter what happens down here my soul will survive it and go to where God is because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.
I WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE THIS PEACE IN THEIR LIFE!
