Sometimes people wonder why they do wrong things when they know they should do what is right. What makes you and me want to sin. God has always had laws or rules for people to follow. But the very first people broke God’s first rule. Ever since Adam and Eve choose to sin by disobeying God, each person has been born wanting to sin. Adam and Eve’s children were born sinners, and you and I were also born wanting to sin. What is sin? It is thinking, saying or doing things that break God’s laws.
The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”- Romans 3:23.
No one is perfect like God. It is the sin in your heart that causes you to do someone else. There is no way for you to get rid of sin yourself. Only God can forgive your sin and take it away. It is important to let God forgive your sin because your sin keeps you away from Him. One day you will be separated forever from God in a terrible place of punishment unless your sin is forgiven.
