LET US PLACE A CAN OF SALT ON A DINNER TABLE AS THE 'HOLIEST' MAN ON EARTH, AND PLACE A CAN OF PEPPER SPRAY ON THAT SAME TABLE AS THE 'WORST' MAN ON EARTH. AFTER THAT, JUDGE YOURSELF ON THE MORAL SCALE AND PLACE YOURSELF IN BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM. THEN PLACE THIS ENTIRE DINNER TABLE IN A HOUSE IN NEW-YORK AND DRAW A LINE ALL THE WAY TO THE SUN 100MILLION MILES AWAY, AND ASSUME THAT TO BE WHERE GOD IS. IN YOUR OWN EYES, THE CAN OF SALT SEEMS TO BE CLOSER TO THE SUN THAN YOU AND THE PEPPER SPRAY, BUT COMPARED TO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ENTIRE TABLE AND THE SUN, NONE OF THE THREE ITEMS ON THE DINNER TABLE IS ANY CLOSE TO THE SUN. THAT IS HOW WE ALL ARE IS BEFORE GOD.
BETWEEN US AND GOD, THERE'S ALREADY A SEPARATION IN THE FABRIC. A SEPARATION SO BIG THAT NO MAN IS QUALIFIED BRIDGE IT. NO MAN IS PERFECT ENOUGH TO WORK HIS WAY BACK TO GOD. IT IS ONLY GOD THAT IS GOOD, BIG AND PERFECT ENOUGH TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN US AND HIMSELF. GOD ALONE CAN WORK HIS WILL IN US THROUGH HIS GRACE. AND THIS IS THE WAY TO GOD: THAT WE HAVE ALTOGETHER OFFENDED GOD AND DESERVED TO BE PUNISHED BY DEATH: AN ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD, AND SUCH PUNISHMENT DEMANDED A PERFECT SACRIFICE FOR REMISSION. HOWEVER, GOD FOUND NO BETTER SACRIFICE NOR SUBSTITUTE FOR OUR SINS, HENCE HE LAID OUR SINS UPON HIMSELF. GOD DIED THROUGH CHRIST TO RECONCILE US BACK TO HIMSELF. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD. HE HAS OPENED THE DOOR OF GRACE (GOD'S RICHES AT CHRIST'S EXPENSE) TO US.
JESUS HAS DONE IT FOR US ALREADY. HE HAS PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS. HE HAS BORNE OUR PUNISHMENT. GOD'S GRACE IS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH CHRIST ONLY. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET THIS GRACE IS BY ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, AND IT IS BY THIS SAME GRACE THAT WE WILL MAKE HEAVEN..
