SUMMARY: Sin is real and leads to death and separation from God. The belief that man is essentially good and does not need to repent is contrary to the Bible. Everyone is born a sinner, but God has provided a way for forgiveness and salvation through faith in Christ. Christians must continue to fight against the desires of the flesh and choose to walk in the Spirit. Confession and repentance bring restoration and forgiveness from God. Psalm 51 is an instruction manual for believers who have been overcome by sin. Through God's mercy and the blood of Christ, we can be reconciled with the Father and feel the joy of salvation.

The Bible teaches that sin is not only real, but also leads to death (1 Cor 15:22) and separates us from God. Sin directly insults and grieves our Creator. Today there are several popular opinions about sin and all are contrary to the Word of God. Some say that since "man is essentially good" he does not need to repent, but to constantly reform; Others use the pretext of widespread evil in the world - from which no human being can escape - to live depraved and uncontrolled. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 Jn 1.8)

God starts from a totally opposite criterion: we are all born sinners (Ro 5: 12-14) therefore sin is in the nature of the human being, so that he cannot get rid of it on his own account. Consequently, God has provided a heavenly solution so that sinful man can obtain forgiveness and salvation and be reconciled to Him.

Accolades from God
A Christian must live a legitimate and obedient life to receive the crown of life. We must trust in Gods power instead of worldly chemistry to achieve results. We must work hard and live a disciplined life to see spiritual fruits. God often tests us to decontaminate our hearts and minds. We should strive to be disciples, not just believers, and allow God to change our lives through his love.
