Jesus is King Revelation 19:16
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
Do you acknowledge you are a sinner?
​
-What is Sin? Sin in modern culture has almost become a bad word, the thought that someone could categorize an individual's actions as sin is extremely offensive to most people. We live in a day of relativism, the thought that all truth is relative depending on the situation, what is true to me may not be true to you. In this philosophy/way of thinking it is impossible for sin to be acknowledged, what may be sin to me isn't to you. Contrary to modern thought the Bible clearly lays out what sin is. Sin in the Bible derives from a Greek word, a word used in archery. It literally means to miss the mark. Humans are not judged by what we believe is right and wrong but by what God says is right and wrong. God's standard is perfection and was demonstrated to mankind in the life of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says Jesus was tempted in all ways, yet never sinned. Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Below is the Ten Commandments, be honest with yourself and ask if you have ever broke any of them.

Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Have you kept God's Ten Commandments? If you think you have there are an additional 603 more Commandments in the Old Testament Law. The Lord Jesus Christ expounded during His earthly ministry what it means to keep the Law. The following are a few verses demonstrating this.
The Greatest Commandment - Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.
​
Second Greatest Commandment - Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
​
Jesus Teaching on Adultery - Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
​
Jesus Teaching on Murder - Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
​
Have you kept the Law according to Jesus definition? If you think you have, it gets worse. It says in James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Have you always done what is good? There would be hundreds of pages demonstrating God's standard but surely these are sufficient to demonstrate how far you are from God's standard. My prayer is you see you have missed the mark of God's standard. To see what the Bible says the wages of our sin/consequence is click on the button.
