Most of us are aware of desires to do whatever we can get away with to further our personal goals of pleasure, satisfaction, and significance. While we don’t always buckle to the temptation to act on those desires, no one can say that he or she has never caved in to the urge to go beyond the bounds of conscience, social proprieties, or divine ordinance.

Occasionally, wrong-doers are able to convince a jury of their innocence, though that is getting more difficult all the time. The fact is, though, when we come to the supreme moment of evaluation, we will not be able to trick the Judge, or lay the blame at someone else’s feet. Our identity and connection to the wrong we have done will be certain.

The good news is that, though because of our behaviour we already stand convicted (by God’s standards, if not social conventions, and personal conscience), the expected sentence is not inevitable. God has made a way for a full pardon to be granted to us. By dealing with our sin Himself, He makes it possible for us to experience total forgiveness.
