The Answer to Your Problems

Do you have feelings of loneliness, or a sense of guilt and fear deep inside your heart? Do you wonder about the purpose of your life? Many people are trying to find the answer to these feelings. You may find entertainments or other activities that may relieve you of these feelings for a short time, then they return, perhaps stronger than ever before.

In the beginning God's creation was perfect. Man had no problems until the devil came and enticed him to disobey God. He fell into sin and he was no longer perfect. Ever since that time all humanity has been sinful.

Can you relate to this fall? When you were a child, God was not keeping track of your sins but was forgiving you for Jesus' sake. As you matured these things began to change and you started to have guilty feelings. What happened? God was letting you feel the guilt of your sins. No longer was the blood of Jesus covering your sins. God was saying, "You are now responsible for what you are doing." If you have not accepted Jesus as your Savior, you are still carrying a burden of guilt.

What can you do to change these feelings of guilt? You cannot pay for your sins no matter how many good deeds you do. In God's eyes you are still a sinner. God cannot tolerate sin. Sin separates us from God (see Isaiah 59:2).

Now here is the beautiful and simple plan God has to help you. Jesus, God's sinless and perfect Son came to bring this plan. He took our sins upon Himself and died on the cross, paying the price that was demanded for our sins. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus we can have salvation today. Jesus invites us to come to him with the burden of sin.
