Many people don't think of themselves as sinners worthy of judgment. But if you commit just three sins per day-if you are irreverent, dishonest, malicious, lustful, or covetous just three times in a day-and the great majority of us break God's law in thought or deed at least that many times in a hour! you will commit more than a thousand sins per year. If you live for seventy-five years, as many of us will, when you die you will arrive in God's court with seventy-five thousand sins to be dealt with. How would a human judge respond to a criminal with seventy-five thousand violations of the civil law? Surely he would impose the maximum penalty! God hates sin more than any human judge, and He has decreed that the "wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23). How important it is, then, that we find a way to deal with our sin before appearing before God's judgment.
