Sin

Answer 2

Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the grace of God.
Another words, all human beings have sinned.
Sinned means to fall short of the expectation of God.
Of course, it is impossible for any human not to sin, Adam proved this when he disobeyed God's instructions willfully.
That is why all humans have to pay for their sins, because Adam
disobeyed God willfully, and then knew the difference between
right and wrong, his eyes were opened to this truth after he bit into the apple against God's advice.
God knows we will sin because we are human, that is why Jesus
came to earth, so he could see what it was like to be human and know our temptations, when he died an innocent death, he redeemed all mankinds sin against God.
God accepted the sacrifice Jesus made (his life) for all humankind so we could be redeemed to God by accepting him as our incendiary.

I believe as long as there is a God and a Devil, everyone on Earth commits sins.

Who doesn't commit sins?
