program is "holy family," as we recall that night when love came down at christmas in the person of jesus christ

jesus has provided an answer for sin. we do not have to live under the burden of sin. now, even after you receive christ, you will still make mistakes. you will still sin, but your sins are forgiven, the past ones, the present ones, and the future ones. when jesus died on the cross for you, he died for you and for me before we were ever born. the bible says, "while we were still yet sinners," and far away from god, not caring at all about him, having no interest in him at all, "he died for us." that's why it's evident that god's love for us and care for us is unconditional. it is not something we can earn or deserve or buy with our good works. so if you have just really messed up your life, don't make the mistake of thinking that now what you need to do before you can come to god is you need to do a bunch of good stuff and try to make up for that. the truth is is no amount of your good works or my good works is ever enough to pay for sin. we needed a perfect sacrifice to pay for our sins. sin requires a sacrifice. sin requires payment. the justice of god must be met, and it can only be met with a perfec

that's jesus christ. can i have a good amen? because when your eyes are open to christ, it is being opened to how much you are loved by him, how much he cares for you. but when you open your eyes to the wrong tree, conscience, that means from now on, all right, your conscience tells you what is right and what is wrong, not god. your conscience allows many things that god will not allow, amen, because god loves man. are you listening, people? so conscience is not a safe guide unless you are born again, then your conscience becomes good. amen, cleansed, purged by the blood of jesus, then it becomes good. are you listening to me, church? so the moment adam and eve had a conscience, god came into the garden and now this time they were--they had slavish fear. they were hiding from god. there's an expectation of trouble, expectation of judgment, the expectation of punishment. they were afraid of god in a wrong sense. before that they walked with god, but now they're afraid of god. so likewise, all man, they tried to hide themself. adam
