God says: Without God we're worthless sinners (Romans 3:10-12,23). Our greatest need is to know that God is worthy (Psalm 111:10).
2. Our culture says: "Each person must decide what is right or wrong for themselves."
God says: The difference between right and wrong is obvious (Galatians 5:19-20). It's written on each man's heart (Romans 2:12-16), and anyone who says otherwise is self-deceived (1 John 1:7-9).
3. Our culture says: "If you live a good life, you'll go to heaven."
God says: Sin leads to eternal death (Romans 6:23), no amount of good works will save us (Ephesians 2:8-9), and Jesus is the only way to be saved (John 14:6).
4. Our culture says: "You can't judge me. In fact, the Bible says not to judge me."
God says:
1. Judge beliefs. See The "J" Word
2. Judge sin and sinners. See Judge the Sin, Not the Sinner
3. But first of all, judge yourself first. See Guard Against Plank Eye.
It's important that we understand these truths, transmit them clearly to others, and live them!
