Sin Problem ~ Legal Problem
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death. One Sin
1Cr 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; One Sting
God’s holiness
Ps. 130:3
It all comes back to our understanding of the character of God. If God is holy, and He measures my sin against His holiness, it would be impossible to even balance the scales. David said, “If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?”
Debt
James 2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in on point, he is guilty of all.
Isaiah 64:6
6 For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away
For the wages of sin is death.

Be baptized
Rom 6:1-14 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:
Rom 6:6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
