Man We've Got Problems

Man We've Got Problems

John 1:12 - "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"

How are you today?

What in the world is wrong?

We can build computers that can solve the most complicated problems in just seconds, but we can't solve the problems of sin and immorality and prejudice. We can build beautiful cathedrals but we cannot stop people from hating. We can put men on the moon, but we can't live with each other here.

Why can't we build a peaceful society?

Why can't some people get along with their own family?

Why is the world in such a shamble?

You can't make people love each other, and you can't make people be kind and unselfish by just passing a law that they should.

What do you think the problem is?

The problem is

We will never understand ourselves, our fellow man, or mankind throughout this whole planet earth until we accept what the Bible says about the human race—that it is in rebellion against God.

How did we get into such a disastrous condition? 

The Bible tells us that it came about through the disobedience of the first man, Adam.

Adam and Eve did disobey God. They did rebel against Him. They believed Satan instead of believing God. They took sides with Satan and rebelled against God.

The result of their sin was death. But what kind of death was it? It was spiritual death. That very day, they died spiritually, that is, they were separated from God. Later on, they died physically.

What about the world? 

What's it coming to? As long as men continue in rebellion against God, things will continue to get worse.

God has not forgotten about us!

He is faithful!

What is the Solution?

 The solution is for us to be born again. Jesus said, "YOU"—no matter who you are—"must be born again." (John 3:7)

"But how can I be born again?"

Come as a sinner to the Lord Jesus and receive Him as your Savior.
