- Isaiah 1:8
The human experience is one where mankind wants to do good, tries to do good; but within themselves is the nature of sin lying at the door of their hearts. Genesis 4:7 As the children of Adam and Eve, the first humans and the first sinners; we have inherited this nature of sin, therefore in various times, places and ways we see this nature expressed. Mankind cannot do anything of themselves to get rid of this nature of sin, but God has provided for those who recognize their problem. Once we get to the point that we are driven by this nature of sin, God has decreed that destruction would reign over us.
As part of sinful humanity we recognize that sin is all around us, possibly even boxing us in. We become enveloped in the wrong crowds, causing our sins to deepen its grip in our own heart.
If we continue in unforgiven sin, we are setting our children up to be cursed with the very same sins we struggle with. This does not mean they will pay for our sins, we will do that, but that their hearts will become a stronghold for the devil to stand and shoot darts at them. Our children learn well from their parents, and our weaknesses will soon be theirs, thus they too become surrounded by sin.
