My Child …
Sin has put a barrier between myself and my creation. It cannot be removed by a person’s own efforts. Such is the alienation it has brought.
Look around the world and see the destruction sin has brought on every level.
Each person needs to recognise the reality of sin. Not only the sin of others but their own personal sin. I want you to recognise your own personal sin. I want you to recognise your own personal sin and to take responsibility for it.
Examine yourself against my word, the Bible. Look at your moral life in the light of my Word. Think of your personal struggles and sufferings. Consider your anxiousness and unhealthy desires. It should not be difficult to recognise sin in your life.
This is the human dilemma. Sin is at the root of all sorrows. People are sinners and need forgiveness and reconciliation to me their heavenly Father. As large a barrier that sin is between me and my creation, it can be removed.
Sin has taken people captive. But there is an everlasting solution to it. What seems an immoveable barrier between you and I can be removed. It is the way of the cross. What you are not able to do yourself my Son has done for you. All by the power of the cross. Examine yourself.

redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24
