In Luke Chapter 7, the story of the two debtors, we see a sharp contrast how Jesus views sincere worship. One one hand, we have a Pharisee who does nothing that shows honor and humility. On the other hand, we have the prostitute with a repentant and humble heart.
There's a lot of discussion about how exactly sin came into the world. Whether we have sin from birth or a sinful nature. The good news is that the answer is the same...we are restored and brought back into right relationship with God the Father through sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and our decision to accept him as Lord and Savior.
