Sin

• Christians believe you are judged after you die and whether you believe in Jesus decides if you go to heaven or hell.
• The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats also suggests that you need to help the poor and needy to go to heaven.
• Sin: Any action or thought that goes against God's will.
• Original sin: The belief we are all born with the ability to commit sin.
• The original sin: When Eve ate the apple in the Garden of Eden.
• God gave humans free will, but they should use that freedom to make good choices and not sin.
• Bible quote on life after death: "For since death came through a man, the ressurection of the dead comes also through a man."
• ways in which a belief in sin influences Christians today

  • They will pray for gods help to repent and forgiveness They do this to try and get into heaven through salvation through faith as the ressurecrion of Jesus forgives all our sins if we believe.
  • They will try and do good deeds to repay for their bad deeds. The Bible says "Faith by itself, if not accompanied by action, is dead", so they must act according to gods laws to be repented for their sins.
  • Feel comforted as they know if someone has eg killed their son they will go to hell as they disobeyed God.
