All sin is first, against God, second, against you (hurts you to various degrees), and then third, against others (hurts others to various degrees)
Is it possible to go a day without sinning?
Without offending God?
In everything you do, say, and think?
Some think it's possible...
many Christians think it's possible...
But sin runs deep... VERY DEEP.
Can you pass this test?
Can you go an entire day
and not commit one single sin on this list?
(This isn't a comprehensive list by the way either...)
After you browse through the list, CONSIDER THIS:
God is NONE of these things, nor does He do ANY of these things!
God is love. (1 John 4:8) And His character is always good, perfect, holy, righteous, and pure.
You and I on the other hand, ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE to being good, perfect, holy, righteous, and pure.
(Hence, why Jesus came)
