Andrew Barnhardt examines the condition of ungodly sinners before God, drawing from Romans 5:6 and the account of the mariners in the first chapter of Jonah. He addresses the spiritual distance between humanity and a holy God, the danger of sin and impending divine judgment, and the absolute inability of man to effect his own salvation apart from divine intervention. He highlights how human efforts—such as self-reliance, religious practices, and strenuous works—fail to bridge the gap, pointing instead to the substitutionary work and payment for sins accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ.
