Sincerity Is Not Enough
. . . The Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
Romans 10:12
Sincerity alone is not enough in life. Suppose, for example, you had a deadly virus, and after examining you the doctor said take any medicine you wanted—because as long as you were sincere, it would heal you. Would you follow his advice? I hope not, because sincerity alone would not be enough—and might even be dangerous.
The same is true with God. The Bible tells us that we all have a problem, and that problem is sin. Sin is like a deadly virus, invading our souls and corrupting our lives—and most of all, it cuts us off from God. Our greatest need is to be healed of our sins, for only then can we know God and be assured of eternal life.
But can we be healed of our sins? We cannot heal ourselves, no matter how hard we try or how sincere we are. Only God can heal us—and He made this possible by sending Jesus Christ into the world to die for us. Now by putting our faith and trust in Him, we can be healed of our sins (Romans 10:13), and saved for an eternity in Heaven.
