\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What Is \u2018Original Sin?\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I might be going out on a limb,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

but, do you believe in \u2018original sin?\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What do I mean by \u2018original sin?\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sin that was committed way back when.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The first sin committed by man.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When Adam ate the fruit in his hand.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

True, Eve took a bite of it first.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, the human race came under a curse<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

when Adam took a bite of the fruit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He knew Eve would be given the boot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t want to be left alone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So he ate the fruit, letting out a groan.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This act was called the \u2018original sin.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Putting a curse on the human race from within.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Each person is born with a sinful nature.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to this \u2018original sin\u2019 maker.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Even Jesus was born with a sinful nature.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inherited from his mother, not his maker.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

However, He DID NOT SIN, overcoming by faith.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our example and savior. He had what it takes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What do they mean by a sinful nature?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How much faith does it take here?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It means we tend to do bad rather than good.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is easy for us to be misled, though it should <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

not be so. By faith, we can overcome.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the only way to defeat where we came from.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We can do nothing of our own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Only Christ, through us, it is shown,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

can overcome that \u2018man of sin\u2019 inside.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The sinful nature will always abide.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It will be there till we are translated into<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

that glorious body made new for you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you accept Christ as your personal savior<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

you are His son or daughter, translated later.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So, \u2018original sin\u2019 depends on your view.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, it is something worth looking into.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
