There’s nothing we can do to justify ourselves before God. We could donate millions of dollars to wonderful causes and spend every spare minute serving the poor, and still couldn’t bridge the gap between our broken souls and our perfect Creator. As Pastor Dan will remind us in today’s message, in our state of spiritual depravity, we have only one hope. Jesus Christ is that hope. He gave Himself as a perfect sacrifice to atone for our sin, and offers us righteousness through faith in Him.
