What's the Problem?

God is holy - He is perfect in all of His traits and actions. He has no weakness or lack in any aspect of His being. He has an infinite amount of power. His wisdom and knowledge is unlimited. He is always completely just. His love is perfect.

"... Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory."   Isaiah 6:3

"The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He."   Deuteronomy 32:4

As a creation, each of us has offended the holy God. We all have disobeyed His perfect and protective instructions. Our just payment for disobedience (sin) against the perfect and infinite God is death. God is always just, so He will punish all sin. Therefore, if one's debt for sin is not paid, that person will die physically (separation of the body from the spirit) and spiritually (separation from God forever).

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus"   Romans 3:23

"for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." Romans 3:26

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."   Romans 6:23

In summary, the problem is that every person has sinned, the just payment for sin is death, and the debt for all sin must be paid in full.

If you think you are good enough to not need to be concerned about God's justice, read the article entitled, "No Problem, I'm a Good Person."
