No one has to teach us to lie, cheat, steal; we’re all born with these abilities. We’re all born as sinners, with a debt we cannot pay. There is nothing you nor I can do to cover the debt of just one sin, which leaves us all condemned to Hell. Yet that isn’t God’s desire for mankind. God desires that we would all live with Him for all eternity. Because of this, He sent a Substitute, Jesus Christ, to take our place and pay the debt for all mankind, if we will but accept the substitute.
