God cannot tolerate sin because of His holiness. He is completely without any wrong. Many people think of sin as a type of crime–something done against society. But sin is more than a crime; it is a transgression against God. Because of sin, we are separated from God and unable to enjoy fellowship with Him. “For thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities” (Isaiah 64: 7). Even though you may be a very moral person, the Bible says that you are still a sinner. “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10). “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
