1. Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman. I have Good News for you today. This is the best rope illusion you’ll see all day and the best news you’ll hear your whole life. It’s free, check it out.

2. I have three different length ropes, and I am going to make them appear to be the same length. The first rope is a short rope which represents a very good person. He does little wrong and he does everything he can to help people.

3. The second rope represents an average person who has done some good and some bad. Sometimes his life is exemplary and sometimes it isn’t.

4. The third rope represents a very bad person who has a long rap sheet. He goes out of his way to hurt people.

5. We look at these three people as different, but there is someone who sees all three the same. That person is God. God is holy, which means that He is set apart from all that is evil, because He is infinitely pure. 1 John1:5 says “This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” God sees us all the same. Because we have three things in common.

6. The first thing we have in common is that all of us have sinned against God by breaking His commandments. Sin is when we don’t do what God says to do in the Bible. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

7. The second thing that we have in common is that our sin separates us from God. Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death…” We are separated from God now and forever as we deserve to spend forever separated from God in a real place called the Lake of Fire.

8. But the third thing that we have in common is that God came to save us. God became a man named Jesus, Who lived a perfect life for us and then was nailed to the cross. He was separated from God the Father as He Paid for our sins in His body. Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

9. Jesus died for our sin in our place, was buried, and then rose from the grave three days later so that now, regardless of whether you’re a good person, an average person, or a bad person, We all have the opportunity for God to accept us through Jesus’ payment. The rest of Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages o sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” If you believe that He died for you, then God will accept you as if you lived the perfect life that Jesus lived. What is keeping you from trusting Him right now?
