What separates us human beings from God is the fish. Do you really know what sin is? In this article you will know everything related and what the Holy Bible says about it (also for children)
The sin
The sin It is defined as the action of disobeying the commandments that God establishes for us. After Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge and evil, human beings separated from God's grace, the only way Jehovah had to cleanse our sins was to send his only Son to Earth to die for us .
Pedro 1 3: 18
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God, being indeed dead in the flesh, but made alive in spirit;
Before the coming of Christ to Earth, the Jews, to be cleansed from the sin they had, God asked them to perform sacrifices with lambs, which announced from the old covenant that his Son would come to be the lamb that would save his creation.
Exodus 29: 11-14
11 And you shall kill the calf before the Lord, at the door of the tent of meeting.
12 And of the blood of the calf you shall take and put on the horns of the altar with your finger, and you shall pour out all the other blood at the foot of the altar.
13 You shall also take all the fat that covers the intestines, the fat that is on the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn it on the altar.
14 But the meat of the calf, and its skin and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.
The original sin
As Christians we have heard on many occasions about original sin, now what?What is the original sin? It is known as original sin when Satan tempted Eve and managed to make her bite the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and in turn she told Adam that it was good and he also bit. This act made Adam and Eve break the only commandment they had and as a consequence God separated them from his grace, this disobedience explains to us what sin is according to the Bible.
Genesis 2: 16-17
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, You may eat of every tree in the garden;
17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you will not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die.
Genesis 3:6
6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a desirable tree to make one wise; and she took of its fruit, and did eat; and he also gave to her husband, who ate as well as her.
Genesis 3: 16-17
16 To the woman he said: I will greatly multiply the pains in your pregnancies; with pain you will give birth to children; and your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you.
17 And to the man he said: Because you obeyed the voice of your wife, and ate of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it; cursed is the land because of you; with pain you will eat of it all the days of your life.
In the kids
Children are the darlings of Almighty God. However, the smallest of the house from a young age should be taught what is good and what is evil, what is right and what is wrong. when you teach him what is sin to children We can give them examples that they can understand, such as disobeying their parents. Since in essence it is what condemned us, not complying with the mandates of our Father God. But it is important that we always remember that little ones are a blessing and that we must treat them as God wants us to.
Mattheww 7:7-8
18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And when Jesus called a child, he placed him in their midst,
3 and said, Truly I say to you, unless you return and become like little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 So whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me.
With regard to explaining what it is original sin for kids the story that has always been told is the most acceptable, it is the story where Adam and Eve eat the “apple” from the forbidden tree. He reminds us that the first years of children's formation are crucial and that it is important that from a young age they understand and recognize the sacrifice that Jesus made when he came to Earth to die for all of us.
