The next thing you need to know is that we have sinned—every single one of us.
Since the time of Adam and Eve, every person that has ever lived has chosen to disobey God.
The Bible calls this sin.
Because God is holy, God cannot be around sin.
Sin separates us from God and deserves God’s punishment of death. That’s bad news.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
