    Why People Fail To Realize That They Are Sinners?

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 297 views

    People fail to recognize their sinfulness because they compare themselves to others instead of to God, ignore His grace, underestimating the depth of their sins, and underesimate God’s perfect righteous standard revealed through Christ’s sacrifice.

    The Apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:17 that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel. Before explaining in detail what this gospel is, he explains why this gospel is necessary and why God’s righteousness is needed in Romans 1:18–3:20 as follows: 1. Everyone is a sinner, whether Jew ...read more

     | 923 views

    Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

    We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more
