Meet David Marvin

Distress, sin, and death . . . they're everywhere. All of creation is under sin. It's no debate that things in this life are imperfect. Man, whether he believes in God or not, will rarely deny this. In fact, the problem of “evil” or “sin” is often cited as a primary argument against the Bible's claim that an all loving and all powerful God exists.

C.S. Lewis brilliantly argues that the very fact that mankind has moral understanding inside of us that declares things are not as they should be is a stronger argument for the existence of a God who bestows a “sense of morality,” rather than for His nonexistence. Simply put, the fact man perceives that something is wrong with the world demonstrates that someone at some point implanted a sense of right and wrong within man. The Bible tells us that this "sense" comes from being made in the "image of God." (Genesis 1:26-27) Being made in this "image," all men have the work of the law "written on their hearts." (Romans 2:15)

God, however, doesn't simply leave us with a comprehension of the “death” around us, but provides a way that we can find life. His name is Jesus, who is called both the "way" and the "life." (John:14:6) Through Jesus, God has provided a way for all men to be reconciled to Himself by making peace through the blood of the Cross." (Colossians 1:20).

Just as He answered the psalmist's cries, God has answered our cries of distress. His answer was the death of his only Son, Jesus. God made Jesus, "who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21) He didn't answer Jesus' cries in the garden to take this cup from him (Luke 22:42) or his cries from Calvary, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46; Psalm 22:1a), so that He could answer my cries for a savior. His name is Jesus.
