What is sin? The bible refers to sin as breaking the law of God.(1 John 3:4) The bible also refers to sin as rebellion against God. (Joshua 1:18) Sin began when Satan was still an angel of God and was not satisfied with his placement. He aspired to be more powerful than God, and this was Satan’s first sin. (Isaiah 14:12-15) When Satan came to earth and tempted Adam and Eve (Genesis 3), he bought sin along with him for everyone else in the world too. Since then, sin as be brought down from generations.

(Romans 3:11) (2 Tim 3:2) What does it mean when the bible says man becomes a new creation after he is saved? I believe that when a man is saved by Jesus Christ, that they become a completely different person. (2 Corinthians 5:17) The man begins to make better actions just due to wanting to please God. Everything in their old nature has gone away. We dont desire to want to do these bad habits anymore because of the Holy Spirit living inside of us. (Colossians 3:9) We become a new person that is more like God. (Ephesians 4:24) Why does God allow us to go through trials and tribulations? I believe that christians go through trials and
