All verses taken from the New King
James Version
Romans
3:23 tells us that "all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God," so our sin is not in
question. All have sinned!
However, Romans
5:8 says that "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Christ died to free
us from sin.
Romans
6:23 says that "the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Hebrews

As a child of God, you have everlasting Life!
John
3:16 says, "For God so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life."
You may not feel like a new creation, but the
just "live by faith" (Romans
1:17).
