List of Sins
We are all sinners. This is why Jesus died on the cross, so that, if we accept him, repent, and turn from our sins, our sins would be forgiving. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
There is a saying I heard, “Hate the sin, Love the sinner.” We should all be open to love each other, regardless of sin, but that doesn’t mean we should condone the sin.
Know your enemy! When you draw away from God it leaves a void. That is when evil will try and creep in. Don’t look for comfort in the wrong places. Jesus promises us that if we seek him, we will find him. If we knock. He will answer.
