We Are all Sinners

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)

We are sinners by birth

The Bible says in the book of Romans that sin began with the first man, Adam.

 
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." (Romans 5:12) 

 
Adam disobeyed God. the sinful nature of Adam was then passed on to every person born thereafter. Every one of us inherited the sinful nature of Adam. 

We are also sinners by choice. 

The Bible says in James 4:17 "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." 

We sin by choosing to do wrong. All of us are guilty of choosing occasionally to dosobey God in action, attitude, or thought. 

Do you realize that you are a sinner?
