Word

Yes, the world is a mess due to sin. It's in an unrecoverable death spiral. The good news is that God has provided a way for us to be rescued from our sin! We all have faith in someone or something. When we realize we are sinners, and place our faith in Jesus who gave His life on the cross as payment for our sins, we receive God's gift of eternal life.
(Romans 10:8-13)
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
