The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.””
Genesis 2:16-17

2. We Have All Chosen To Disobey God, And Our Relationship With Him Had Been Broken

Man Rebelled against God

“Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.”
Genesis 3:22-24

The Consequences Of Our Choice

We Are All Born With A Sinful Nature

“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.”
Psalms 51:5

as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;”
Romans 3:10

Romans 3:23

Our Sin Brings Death And Separation

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23

Our Sin Brings Eternal Judgment

“dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,”
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9

Our ways are not Gods ways

Good Deeds Are Not The Solution

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14

4. Jesus Christ Is the Only Solution To Man’s Broken Relationship With God And Only Through Him Can We Find Forgiveness
