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? Definitely not! God's book teaches that you are
responsible
for only your own actions. You cannot sin until you do something wrong.

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.

This
Question arose from
Christian’s thought. So first we need to understand the Bible
definition of
Sins and Destruction of Sins.
If I
am not wrong,
according to Christian’s Thought, Sins exists in the world. BUT
if you believe in Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) same as do the Christians then your sin
is
destroyed, since the Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him)
was
Crucified to wash and destroy Christians sins according to the
Christian
Believe.
Jesus
Christ was God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14). When Jesus died on the
cross, His
death was an infinite death because He
was God,
and therefore infinite and eternal.
Jesus’ death was sufficient to pay for all the
sins that have ever been
committed (2 Corinthians 5:21). All
we must do is place our faith in Him and our sins will be forgiven
(John 3:16;
Romans 10:9-10). That is why Jesus had to die.
His death was the only way our sins could be forgiven. Ref:
http://www.gotquestions.org/why-Jesus-die.html
Question:
"Do Christians have to keep asking for forgiveness for
their
sins?"
Answer:
Yes,
we should confess our sins
to God as soon as we are aware that we have sinned.
However, we do not always need to be asking God for
forgiveness.
When a person places his faith in Jesus Christ for
salvation, all of his
sins are forgiven. That
includes past, present and future, big or small.
Believers do not have to keep asking for forgiveness or
repenting in
order to have their sins forgiven.
Jesus
died to pay the penalty for all of our sins, and when they are
forgiven, they
are all forgiven (Colossians 1:14; Acts 10:43).
What we are to do is confess our sins: “If we
confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
Yes,
Christians do sin
(1 John 1:8), but
the Christian life is not to be identified by a life of sin.
Believers are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
We have the Holy Spirit in us producing good fruit
(Galatians 5:22-23).
A Christian life should be a changed life.
I would have serious doubts about a person who claims to
be a believer
yet lives a life that says otherwise. Christians
are forgiven no matter how many times they sin,
but at the same time
Christians should live a progressively more holy life as they grow
closer to
Christ.
Ref:
http://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-sin.html
Here the Question arises that if the sins are destroyed then why are there so many Christians go to the Jails. Even in Year 2004, in the news we came to know that Many (not one and two) Christian Priests were charged on Adultery cases. Also few years back, Mr. Bill Clinton (former President of the USA), during his presidency, was caught on Adultery Case regarding Monica. So it is very obvious that God did not destroy the Sins in this World.
Yes,
similar to the
Christian believe, the Sins will be destroyed and there will be no sins
in the
Heaven, BUT
Allah (God) does not need
any special act to destroy Sins, like Crucifixion
of Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) to destroy the Sins etc. Several Times Origin
of Sins starts from Thought, which is Invisible.
It works so simple that when Allah says “Be! And
it is”. In the Heaven there will be no
Sins.
The
Originator of the
heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only:
Be!
and it is.
For
further references, please see Al_Quraan_003:047,
Al_Quraan_016:040, Al_Quraan_019:035, Al_Quraan_036:082,
Al_Quraan_040:068
In
the
Heaven there will be no sins. Since Allah said that so we have to
believe on
that.
On
thrones decorated,
Reclining on them, facing one another. Round about them shall go youths
never
altering in age, With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; They
shall not
be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted, And
fruits such
as they choose, And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. And pure,
beautiful
ones, The like of the hidden pearls: A reward for what they used to do.
They
will NOT
hear therein vain or sinful discourse, Except
the word PEACE,
PEACE.
Forgiveness:
And He it
is Who accepts repentance from His servants and forgives sins and He
knows what
you do; (Al_Quraan_042.025)
If any
of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his
conduct),
lo! He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al_Quraan_006.054)
(Asked
Allah to forgive you and never ever think to do the sin again,
otherwise it will
be like a joke with Allah)
