Sin puts a chasm between us that we can’t hope to get across despite our best efforts and schemes. Wealth can’t cross it, power can’t cross it, good works can cross it, morality can’t cross it, Sin by its very nature separates us from God, and since we couldn’t get back to Him, He came back to us. Jesus came into the world to save us from our sin and reconcile us to God – to restore that relationship which was broken. Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, brings us from a place of separation to a state of Grace, in Christ we can now Cross the Chasm
