Sin Is Rebellion Against God

Rebellion against God takes many forms, but every sin shares the same ultimate consequence: death and eternal punishment. God is holy and just; He cannot abide rebellion. But God is also loving, and substituted His own Son, Jesus Christ, to undergo that death and punishment so that those who believe in Him will be saved. Put your faith in Him.
