Sin messed everything up, but God is still in control.
Pollution ruins things
For a period of time this universe was perfect.
Until the pollution of sin entered into it.
Satan casts the doubt, then he lies and then he deceives by blurring the lines between what is good and what is evil.
Sin brings shame, excuses & consequences

5. Looking at the visible to discover the invisible!
Sin messed everything up, but God is still in control.
We live in a polluted world now.
But man is not inherently evil.
Sin is not something that is passed on. We live under the curse of death, but sin is something we do.
We become polluted in our minds.

“Sin will take you further than you want to go. Keep you longer than you want to stay. Cost you more than you want to pay. And promises more than it could ever give.”

Jesus gave His life to be the savior of mankind.
At the culmination of God’s plan to bring salvation to His creation a miraculous astronomical event took place.
During the crucifixion of Christ.
From noon to 3pm there was total darkness upon the earth.
This was not an eclipse or a cloud or storm rolling in.

11. “”He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth
“”He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When they hurled their insults at him he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”
I Peter 2:22-24

12. Looking at the visible to discover the invisible!
Even though we mess up, God still loves us and will never leave us, if we repent.
We will never be perfect.
Jesus should pull on our hearts.
Because of what God has done for us we should be pulled to live for Him daily.
And our love for Him should compel us to repent.
Romans 3:23
Jesus is a forgiving God.

13. “And he is the head of the body, the church;”
Maintaining a harmonious relationship with God is accomplished by being an active part of His body (church) and fulfilling His will.

Ephesians 2:8-10
