Three reasons people struggle with sin? 1) The world 2) Our flesh 3) The devil!

Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement.

This page explains why people sin from a Christian perspective, teaching that sin comes from humanity’s sinful nature, original sin from Adam and Eve, free will, temptation from the world, the flesh, and the devil, and the temporary influence of Satan in the world. We emphasize that no one can earn heaven by being “good enough,” because salvation is a free gift from God through Jesus Christ’s death on the cross. We encourage you to confess sin, turn away from it, rely on the Holy Spirit, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and seek God’s forgiveness, grace, and guidance through Scripture.

Why do people sin? Romans 7:19-20 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now, if I do what I do not want to, it is no longer I who do it, but it is a sin living in me that does it.

Why Can’t I Stop Sinning?

Why Do People Sin and How Can We Stop?

It is because of original sin. You and I cannot stop sinning on our own. We need the Holy Spirit to help us. We sin with our thoughts, words, and deeds! Sin stems from Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the Garden, which has followed us into our society to the present day. When we trust God to be our Lord and Savior, we no longer have to bear the consequences of our sins. Jesus has already done that for us on the cross; all we need to do is accept the payment that Jesus has paid for our sins. Although we all sin occasionally, we must confess our sins because God is faithful and will forgive us. We need to turn away from our sins and walk closer to God. ~ Bill Greguska

Understanding Sin From a Biblical Perspective!

If you want to be a Christian, you must understand that you are a sinner Romans 3:23

Committing even one sin deserves judgment Revelation 20:12
According to God’s law, James 2:10, no amount of good deeds can ever erase your sin.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we must lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon! ~ Charles Spurgeon
