A NUMBER of children were once asked the question, “What is sin?”
They wrote their answers upon their slates. One wrote
“Sin is lying.” Another,
“Sin is swearing.” Another,
“Sin is disobedience.” But another gave the best answer. It was
“Sin is just having your own way.” Yes! to do my own will—to go my own way is sin.
And every one of us has done this. Everyone needs salvation.
