You Have Fallen Short


If you break one part of God's law, you are guilty of all of it.

"I'm a good person." does not make the grade with God. God calls that self-righteousness, and He knows the intents of every person, you and me included. He must have only those who have been washed clean, and He provided His own Son, Jesus to do the cleansing. Some people think that they are pretty good, but God knows that all have sinned and fallen short of His glory.
Check out this list. Have you ever done any of these things?
If you have even entertained a desire to do any single one of them, you have earned hell and need God's forgiveness.
