Two signboards stand side by side near a superhighway interchange on the outskirts of a large city. Each flashes the time of day and current temperature. But sometimes the information provided is contradictory. The fault is of course in the equipment. These signboards illustrate what is often seen in the lives of many today. Because of a depraved spiritual condition, it is impossible to establish proper guidelines for moral conduct. For example, many who oppose capital punishment of murderers in every case, are curiously in favor of taking innocent lives in other cases. This is caused by a refusal to accept absolute truth and the rejection of man’s depraved sinful nature. But when we accept absolute truth, and acknowledge the fact that we are all sinners by nature and by choice, there is hope. Because God’s Word says, that though “the wages of sin is death,” when we turn to the Savior, “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
