The Distance Between God and Sin

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

Bible Study ministry from East Dulwich Tabernacle.

The sermon explores the profound distance created between humanity and God through sin, drawing heavily from Isaiah 59 to illustrate this separation and its consequences. It emphasizes that Judah's formal religion and pervasive immorality obscured God's presence, and that even saved individuals can feel estranged due to unacknowledged sin. The message underscores the necessity of repentance and reconciliation with God, highlighting Christ as the ultimate redeemer who offers salvation and whose word will endure eternally, providing a stark contrast to the fleeting and deceptive nature of worldly philosophies and a call to extend grace amidst societal darkness.
