Yesterday, we talked about how a Christian worldview addresses the problem of sin and shame in the world. Today, I want to discuss the fourth and final question any viable worldview must answer (and it’s the most important of all): What’s the solution?

Quite simply, the cross and resurrection of Jesus are the only true answer to the problem of sin, wickedness, guilt, and shame on the earth. The grace, or favor, that comes to us because we are seen through the Father’s eyes (in the same way He sees Jesus) has the power to break chains and set us free eternally! When Jesus went to the cross, He took every sin you’ve ever committed — past, present and future — upon Himself, and it was nailed there, never to emerge again. When He died, He became your sin and when He arose, He became your righteousness; all you need to do is receive His free gift of grace. Once you have accepted Him, it’s a done deal, and you can rest in the assurance that you have right standing in His presence. He loves you so much that He made a way for you to be connected to Him for eternity! 

Friend, the solution to the problem of sin is simply to become a follower of Jesus. Dedicate your life to Him and do all you can to know Him; read His Word, pray and listen to His voice. As you do, the world of chaos around you will be permeated by His peace and your life will be transformed from the inside out. Isn’t that amazing news?
