Explain: Willing to change you, your family. God expects you to come out of the darkness of a sinful life.

Reason:

When God completed His perfect creation, it was “very good.” There was no evil, no disorder, no chaos, no conflict, no pain, no discord, no disease, no decline, no death. But now we live our whole lives in a perpetual struggle with all of those things. Frankly, everything in our world now is anything but good.

What has gone wrong? When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered into our world, and everything went from being very good to being very bad. The Bible says, “Through one man [Adam], sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12, NASB). We’ve all come from Adam and Eve, so we inherited what theologians call original sin. When Adam sinned, he brought death on himself and everybody else.

Romans 5:12 say that the world is in sin.

Romans 8:22 says “the whole creation groans” under this curse

Illustration: Jesus death on cross for our sins.

Conclusion

Rom 5:21, "so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

1Co 15:22, "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive."

John 3:36, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."
