One of the biggest problems in gospel preaching is for people to get what God is trying to tell them - they are sinners and their 'good' works are unable to get them one step closer to heaven. God can never compromise His standard of righteousness. There is only one who ever lived who pleased God in all respects - One who was as perfect as God Himself. Yes, it was the Lord Jesus Christ. As the sinless substitute, He alone was able to bring us poor sinners back to God. What a wonderful truth is this!
