The Brick Wall of Sin

Week 2, Day 4 Reading: Isaiah 59:1-21


Isaiah 59:1-2  Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.

Sin is the "Great Separator" when it comes to humanity and God. Our sin is like a solid brick wall separating us from God and all the good things he has to offer us. This wall is one that is too thick to break down, too high to climb over, too wide to go around, too deep in the ground to dig under. There is absolutely no way to for us to get to the other side. We have no one to blame for this situation but ourselves. And if left to ourselves, we would be eternally without God and therefore without hope in this life and the life to come.

Do we need a savior? Totally!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
