A Sinner In Need Of A Savior!
By Pastor Tim Hodge
Romans 3:23 (NIV) – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
We humans are great score kee pers. We revel in ‘goodie’ points. How many remember in kindergarten getting a paper with gold stars? We would do good and we would be awarded a bunch of gold stars. It’s engrained in us keep up with our stars and the stars of others. We never outgrow that. We live on a point system that calculates in our conscious and subconscious minds. We rank people by our score system. Some are good people. Some are mediocre. Some are lousy. Rounding out the bottom rung of the ladder we find the bad – the scum of the earth, the notorious lot. We sort them all out by rank and file.
We carry that over in spiritual matters. We have groupings for sins. The little white lies; well, they’re acceptable to most. The lies that are told to avoid trouble (i.e. a husband lying to his wife about the extra money he spent on his hobby – if she knew, she’d be irate), well, considering the circumstances, most would give him a pass. However, if he lies about a fling with someone at work, well, that’s getting over in the ‘bad’ sin zone. If the same guy murders someone to cover up the fling, now that is most definitely a disturbing rotten sin. We become adult scorekeepers, gauging the degree of sin.
In God’s eyes, there is no gauge of severity – SIN IS SIN. According to Romans 3:23 we have ALL SINNED. That’s a broad paintbrush, but it is a broad fact. We are ALL SINNERS IN NEED OF A SAVIOR. There are no nice sinners, quaint sinners, moderate sinners, or dastardly fiends in the sin meter. Nope. There’s just one grouping with God: ALL.
