Reason to Believe... We are not good and need a savior

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike talks about the existence of sin and how it points us beyond ourselves. As humans, we want to see ourselves as good, so we often create our own standards—standards that are lower than God’s—measuring ourselves by being nice neighbors or simply not worse than the next person. Yet deep down, we all recognize when we do something wrong, and that awareness shows there is a moral standard greater than us. That truth leads us to the meaning behind the colors of Christmas: red reminds us that Jesus took our sin and died for us, white reminds us that He makes us clean and pure, and green reminds us that because of Him, we are given new life and the chance to grow.
