Are you saved?
I used to wonder why something like drunkenness is a sin when people have chemical imbalances. If you are born with a chemical imbalance it's not your fault. How can something that is not your fault be a sin? Well, when people gave their animal offerings they had to be perfect animals with no imperfections. And, when a Levite was born with a defect he could not be a priest. It sounds unfair, doesn't it? And, we can't go to heaven with even one sin or mistake. It's not fair. No one can go to heaven, because everyone has sinned at least once or behaved in a bad way at least once, or said or thought a bad thought at least once. That means no one is perfect. No one can get to heaven, even if it is not your fault. God cannot let any imperfect person into heaven. You cannot erase your own sin. That's why you must trust Jesus. He is the only way you can get to heaven. Jesus will take you there, but you must confess your sinfulness and ask Him to erase your sin and trust Him to take you to heaven. That's why He came here and died on the cross. He did it to pay for your sin, to erase your sin. Nobody is good enough to erase their own sin. I hope if you haven't asked Jesus to save you, that you do it now. Don't wait. The Bible says you must be born again. The Holy Spirit cannot come into your heart until Jesus cleanses it from all your sin. And, when you are saved, washed clean, you know it because the Holy Spirit comes in and you are born again, you just know you are saved.
