DON’T FOCUS ON YOUR SIN – FOCUS ON THE SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST
Introduction:
No one on earth is sinless, except Jesus Christ. So, instead of drowning in guilt or trying to earn righteousness on your own, fix your eyes on Jesus, the only One who can save, restore, and lead you to eternal life.
π Why Is There Pain and Misery in the World?
The pain and suffering we experience are rooted in the presence of Satan, the “prince of this world.” Once a mighty angel named Lucifer, he rebelled against God out of pride and jealousy, leading a third of the angels in a spiritual revolt. His main grievance? God’s plan to create mankind in His own image—a creation destined to be closer to God than angels themselves.
Lucifer was cast out of heaven, and in his hatred, he targeted God’s beloved creation: Adam and Eve.
π£ The Fall of Man
Satan deceived Eve, causing her to disobey God. Adam, out of love for Eve, chose her words over God's command. This act of rebellion gave Satan authority over fallen mankind. From that moment, sin entered the world—and with it, pain, death, and separation from God.
π God’s Love and the Covenant of Grace
Though God destroyed the world in Noah’s time due to widespread corruption, He spared Noah's family and promised never to destroy humanity by flood again. The rainbow became the sign of that covenant.
Later, God chose Abraham, a faithful man, as the foundation for His redemption plan. From Abraham’s lineage, God would send His Son, Jesus Christ, to save humanity. Jesus, the spotless Lamb, willingly sacrificed Himself to pay the price for our sins, giving us a new way to be restored to God.
Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
✝️ Salvation Through Jesus Alone
Salvation is not about striving to be sinless—it’s about faith in the One who is sinless. If you believe in Jesus, God will no longer remember your sins. You become His child—not through your works, but through grace.
π Our Mission: Be a People-Saver, Not a People-Pleaser
Many are still lost today—not because salvation isn’t available, but because they reject it. As followers of Christ, we have a responsibility to share the Good News with love and urgency.
π What the Bible Says About Pleasing God (Not Man):
-

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." -

"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people."
❤️ Final Thoughts
“Do not focus on your sin—focus on Jesus on the Cross” does not mean we’re free to sin.
It means our righteousness doesn’t come from us—it comes from Christ.
If you love Jesus, you will strive to obey His commands, not to earn salvation, but because He has already given it.
Let us live as ambassadors of Christ, saving souls, not pleasing crowds. Let us love others enough to share this truth, even when it’s hard.
You are saved not by your strength, but by His grace.
