God is Good - Bill JohnsonSample

Sin is so severe it is terminal in every single case. It cannot be overlooked. The presence and power of sin have scarred all that God has made. No one can survive the effects of sin. The apostle Paul explains the role of the Law as it pertains to sin: “where there is no law there is no transgression” (Rom. 4:15). God does nothing to create shame in us. All that He reveals to us He does out of His goodness so that we might respond to His provision and become free. Without knowing our need, it’s impossible to recognize His answer. When He reveals our absolute lost condition because of sin, He does so that we might turn from sin and receive His solution—forgiveness unto adoption.
