Step Two
The Problem: Our Separation
God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make
us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and a
freedom of choice.
We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this
choice today. This results in separation from God.
The Bible says...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

Our Attempts to Reach God
People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and
God...
The Bible says...
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to
death." Proverbs 14:12
"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have
hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." Isaiah 59:2
No bridge reaches God...except one.
