Every single problem in every single family has the root cause of sin. I will readily admit that this is quite simplistic, but it is true, nonetheless.
Sin has a serious effect on mankind:
- When Adam and Eve sinned, human relationships were forever changed: Genesis 3:16-24.
- Paul compiles numerous Old Testament references and writes: “What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.’ ‘Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.’ ‘The poison of vipers is on their lips.’ ‘Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.’ ‘Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know.’ ‘There is no fear of God before their eyes’” (Rom 3:9-18).
Let’s think about some families which were adversely affected because of sin:
Sara brought much heartache to her family because she refused to trust God.
