Gifts and Talents

        What is Sin? Sin is anything that separates us from God. God is a Holy God, and cannot allow any sin into Heaven. We needed a Savior to cleanse us. That is the reason Jesus came to this Earth; was to take our place, and He died for us, so we can come into the presence of God.

       Lucifer was the most beautiful angel that God had ever created. Lucifer was covered with many precious stones such as sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, emerald, and with gold. Because of his beauty, he lifted himself up and sinned. God cast Lucifer out of heaven and one-third of the angels went with him. Lucifer was very beautiful, but sin made him ugly. Today Satan is the ugliest creature alive. All of the Angels that followed Satin, are now Demons, and they are ugly also.

      Sin also makes us ugly. When we sin we become more ugly every day that we live with that sin. We are removed from the presence of God. We may look good on the outside, but inside we are ugly. What we are on the inside is the most important thing. Our looks will fade away, but what’s on the inside will live forever.

      Sin has destroyed more people, and families, than any other thing. Sin can cause us to be separated from our families, but it also separates us from God. That is the reason Jesus came to this earth; was to reunite us to our Heavenly Father. Jesus died for our sins. He took our place, so we could live with our Heavenly Father. We can live a sin free life, with Jesus. We just need to humble our selves, and accept Jesus as our Savior. When God sees us He does not see our sins anymore; He sees Jesus. He no longer sees our sins, they are forgotten buy God, as far as the East is from the West. Jesus will forgive us of our sins, and make us clean and beautiful on the inside, and the outside. We are at peace with our God.

Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.
