You Were Born WithoutSinWould God Blame You ForSomeone Else's Mistake?       »  I am sure you must have heard it said that we were born        in sin—and perhaps you even believe that. But let's        think about that for a moment. Would the Just God blame        you for a sin you never committed? Would He hold you        responsible for what someone else did? Definitely not!        God's book teaches that you are responsible for only your        own actions. You cannot sin until you do something wrong.        And you certainly could not have done wrong before you        were even born.Yet we often meet people who say that        we are somehow born in sin. Could that possibly be true?        They say that the first human being, Adam, sinned, and        through him sin entered the world; and now sin corrupts        everything, including every newborn baby. Can you follow        that logic? Can you believe that human beings are        condemned before they do anything? Which judge would        condemn people for crimes they never committed? A just        judge cannot do that except by mistake. But what about        God? Would He make such a mistake? We cannot imagine such        false ideas about God. He is Just. He holds you        responsible for what you do, and He does not blame you I        am sure you must have heard it said that we were born in        sin—and perhaps you even believe that. But let's        think about that for a moment. Would the Just God blame        you for a sin you never committed? Would He hold you        responsible for what someone else did?

A just judge cannot do that        except by mistake. But what about God? Would He make such        a mistake? We cannot imagine such false ideas about God.        He is Just. He holds you responsible for what you do, and        He does not blame you for what the first human being did.        But even after you do wrong, God is always willing to        forgive. He is full of loving kindness, and He loves to        forgive. He is willing to forgive anyone who turns to Him        and seeks forgiveness. This means that if you did        something wrong you can still turn back to God and He        will forgive you, if you sincerely decide to give up that        sin. Isn't this refreshing to know? Isn't it wonderful to        know that even if we lived a whole life of sin but we        decide now to change our lives and obey God He would        forgive us this minute? And that's just between us and        God. We don't need any confession box, and we don't need        anyone to suffer for our sins. Can we resist the loving        kindness that God is offering us?        God wants us to know about His love. He wants us to        know that He is Just. He wants us to know the truth about        Him so that when we turn to Him we know to Whom we are        turning. But there is so much misinformation about God.        Where can we get correct information about Him? In His        book! That's so obvious, isn't it? God told us about        Himself in His book. We owe it to ourselves to see what        God has to say about Himself. Shouldn't you be reading        God's book? Here's God's message to you in His book:        The Qur'an is God's final book which He revealed for        the guidance of all humankind.        O mankind! Now has a proof from your Lord come unto        you, and We have sent down unto you a clear light; as for        those who believe in Allah and hold fast unto Him, them        will He cause to enter into His mercy and grace, and will        guide them unto Him by a straight road. (Qur'an 4:174-5)        The Qur'an is God's final book which He revealed for        the guidance of all humankind.
