The Retribution of Sin





Consequences



The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ does not give us a license to sin. Or does it?  Let's discuss!  


We often times grow up not really understanding things for ourselves. Meaning because of what we are taught, we believe it to be true. 


Well in fact, some things we are taught in life are not always true.

Just because our mother, father, grandmother or even our pastor teaches us things, we conclude that it is true, and choose not to research and find out the facts ourselves.

Living a life like this, most importantly causes us not to develop a real personal relationship with God.

I could go on and on, but I want to discuss this issue.
     So let's blog!!!



First let us define a few key and important figures and things:


Jesus Christ - a teacher and prophet born in Bethlehem and active in Nazareth; his life and sermons form the basis for Christianity
