What is Sin? - For Kids - | GQKidz.org

What is sin? According to the

Bible, sin is anything that goes against what God says is right. Things like lying, disobeying our parents, treating other people poorly.

And here's the thing, everyone, except for Jesus, has sinned. Romans 3 .23

says, For everyone has sinned. We all say, think, or do wrong things.

Sin came into the world when the very first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve, disobeyed

God by eating fruit from the one tree God told them not to eat from. When God says something is wrong, we need to trust that He loves us and obey

Him. Sin separates us from God and causes real problems in our world.

Living by God's commands will help us to avoid those problems. But no matter how good we are, none of us are perfect.

Sin had to be dealt with by someone who is perfect. Which is why God sent His Son, Jesus, to live a perfect, sinless life and then die on the cross to pay the price for our sin.

Jesus took the punishment for our mistakes. If you believe in Jesus, when

God looks at you, He doesn't see your sin anymore. He sees the perfection of His Son.
