Most people seem to ask the wrong questions about God. Does God exist? Why is there so much evil in the world? If God is loving, why is there suffering? In reality, they are trying to figure out if God is acceptable to them. Today on Every Last Word, Dr. Philip Ryken says that the real question should be, are we acceptable to God? And the answer apart from salvation in Jesus Christ is no.

Have you thought about the sinfulness of sin? Sounds redundant, doesn’t it? But sin has a compounding effect. It makes us ashamed. It shows us to be guilty. It separates us from God. And even though we’re the ones who actually sin, we even blame it on God. And we’ve been doing that since Adam and Eve ate the apple.
