Our guilt is the 'sin' of missng being what God made us to be. When we fail to reach His will for us as human beings - or in other words - when we fail to be all that God made us to be. We are guilty of failing God's standards. To this, I suspect you will say it is unfair of God to demand we meet unrealistic standards? And that is why God sent Jesus because He knew we couldn't - but because God's Holy the standards can't change. The word ’sin’ is …

The issue is truth. If this offer of forgiveness through Jesus really is true, then we must believe what Jesus Himself said about it which is that He is the only way to God. So, elaborate or not, if it is true then it is the only way to peace with God and so we are forced simply to choose to accept or reject.
