Translations:God's Story (five fingers)/9/en

• There is a big problem in our lives: Sin.
• What is sin? Stealing, lying, killing... (breaking the Ten Commandments) is sin.
• But God’s standard is even higher:
  • Thinking badly about someone else is sin.
  • If you know the right thing to do but don’t do it, that’s sin.
  • The root of sin: Thinking we know better than God, ignoring Him, and refusing His love.
• God is holy and He desires us to be perfect.
• Imagine that someone could make a video clip with all your sins: with all your mean deeds, all your dirty thoughts and all the situations where you thought nobody was watching. How would you feel if that came to light and others could see the video clip?
• God doesn’t ignore these things but the consequence of sin is punishment.
• Our sins cause us to be broken, spiritually dead and separated from God.
