Sinners

Are we born sinners??? Why yes I think we are. I think that we are born in to sin and die in our sins, but by the death and resurrection in Christ we have new life and are forgiven by those sins. Some people say that we as humans choose to be good or evil…well sure that is true…but that doesn’t take us any less of a sinner. To be doing something bad and to be a sin is the same thing, but doing something that we might think is good could also be a sin in the eyes of God and not our own. I feel that doing wrong and sin while connected doesn’t mean that those who are innately good in life aren’t any less of a sinner. We are born on this earth with our sins. We may look at a little child and say they are innocent, how can they know sin. It is hard to look at a small child on their deathbed and know they haven’t had the opportunity to know Christ and His love so they are not saved. (don’t take the wrong way…I’m not saying they aren’t) I think that even as a child from birth we are filled with the ability to be aware of His presence. It is not our place to judge who is to enter the kingdom of God….it is His call. We have a choice in our lives to serve Him who sent us, to try to lead good lives and be good just because you think you can earn your way to heaven, choice a path that is crooked and evil….we have choices no doubt, but regardless of our path we are all sinners, born into our lives to die in our sins without GRACE we are to look forward to eternal death…but with GRACE we look for eternal life in the place Jesus has prepared for us.

May God Bless You In Your Daily Walk With Him,
Kris
My prayers are with those who are finishing up finals and for those who are beginning to travel home.

of course we're born sinners. it's the garden of eden story innit. that's why christ had to die for our sins.

So what your saying is that if you live a good life by doing good deeds for people and staying out of trouble and so on that is the way you get to heaven. Isn't it about asking for forgiviness for your sins and admitting that he is real that gets you to heaven.
God bless...

anonymous,
I'm not saying that doing good deeds is a way to get to heaven...some people think it is, but that is not what I meant...sorry for the confusion....I believe that we all take different paths to get to heaven some go to the right others left, some go under or around.....but in the end we all have to go through one door to enter the kingdom of God and that is through Jesus Christ GRACE of God!
