What you think you are, you become. So if you think your nature is inherently sinful, how can you ever escape?

Question

Or do you think the only salvation comes after death? Arent you climbing up a burning rope if you are trying not to sin, but it is in your nature to sin?

Answer 1

"Think" is a state of mind, and one that can change. All you need is a catalyst. It could be a jail term, a good friend, religion, family, etc. All you need is one thing that gives you the motivation to change the direction of your life.

It may be man's inherent nature to sin, but as we give ourselves, or our lives to God and let Him direct us we change that. Salvation is a road not a destination. As we strive to better ourselves and live the Gospel, we are heading in the right direction. There will always be times that we make mistakes, but that's where forgiveness comes in. We probably won't make it to the end of the road in life -I'm guessing none of us will reach perfection here on Earth. That's where Christ and His sacrifice come in. I we are doing our best, He can make up the difference for us. Therein lies our salvation.

Answer 2

well if some one's nature is inherently sinful, you can ask for forgiveness to god so simple... pray to god to help u change your nature, even u have to try changing yourself, jus as u try to break down your thrist by drinking water or jus as u consume food when your hungry, god the merciful will surly forgive your sins, a human beings sin attemted is equal to a dirt (****) of a small brid which falls into an sea or ocean,which does not mean the sea or ocean is dirty now??? where the ocean or sea is the mercy of god and the small dirt (****) of a small bird is your sin !!! but after asking for forgiveness for your sin one shud not attempt the sin again taking the advantage of god's mercifulness.

Answer 3

I think people who are sinful have to live with the torment of consequence every day of their lives.
There is no Hell.
