Genesis

Sin

English

Where does Sin come from?

Why do we sin ?

Can I stop sinning?

All very good questions, The book of Genesis gives us the answer.

We find out that the first man and the first woman brought sin into the world.

And because you and I are related to Adam and Eve then we too have a sin nature inside of us.

We will sin because it is part of our nature.

It has nothing to do with environment or whether we grew up in the city or the countryside, it has nothing to do with whether we had 2 parents or 1 parent bringing us up, its all about a sin nature inside of us.

We were born sinners.

When Adam and Eve sinned and brought sin and the sin nature into the world, God gave them a promise, Someone would come and crush the head of Satan.

That promise was fulfilled 2000 years ago with the birth of Jesus Christ.

He came and died for our sin.

We are born sinners but we respond and accept the truth of what Jesus done on the cross and we are saved.

God forgives us of our sin.

It costs us nothing, but it cost God everything because his son was punished in our place.
