As we look at mankind we see much that is distorted and wrong. Violence, abuse, selfishness, perversion of what is good and dozens of other evils are evident when we examine humanity. It is clear that there is a disease which infects the entire human race and that there is need of a cure that really works.
We rightfully label this disease as “sin,” and recognize the need to deal with it, but the question is, is there really a cure for this sickness?
The fact that there are so many thousands of different religions testify to the fact that man has always recognized his need to be free from sin and has sought for this freedom in a relationship with God. Yet, the testimony of most religious people is that sin is still very much a dominant force in their lives and that all their religious exercises have not really set them free from sin’s power.
