It's hard for us to admit we have sinned against God. We'd like to think his love will cause him to ignore our short-comings. But let's think about this from God's perspective. By way of analogy, if you're at the top of a cliff, it doesn't matter if you take a small step or a flying leap off the edge. The end result is the same. So it is with our sin. Whether we have sinned a little or a lot, we have all abandoned God, and the end result is horrifically tragic. Because God is infinitely holy, the consequence of our fall is also infinite. We cannot pay the price ourselves. Without God's help, we are doomed. We need a Savior.
