This is The Way
Genesis 4:7
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.
The only thing you can do that is "right" according to the whole bible is to believe/trust in God.
Faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to be accepted.
Sin entered the picture when Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil.
The word sin, as listed in this very passage, means knowledge of good and evil.
Another way to say the Knowledge of Good and evil is The Law.
Isn't the law a written example of the difference between good and evil?
Paul said in Galatians that the law points us to Christ like a school master.
To "master" sin or the law, you must let the law show you your need for God's grace, then you can grow in Faith by reaching out for mercy...and finding it.
Love comes when you begin to trust in God's love for you.
With true Faith, as Scripture teaches, there is no law.
This is freedom and the Gospel message in its entirety.
Yes, that is good news.
