We can't do this within ourselves. God had a plan for us by sending
Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our salvation, so through Christ we
can live right.

If sin is disobeying God's Word then we must find out what it says in
the Word of God so we can live up to it. First we want to find out why
we sin, and then get rid of the cause.

You, of course, know what the Bible tells us about Adam and Eve in the
beginning and how they obeyed the devil who talked to them through the
serpent. He got Eve to disobey the only commandment that God had given
them. She ate of the fruit, which was forbidden, and gave to Adam and he
did eat. (Gen. 3rd chapter). They no longer could talk to God as before,
but hid themselves. Sin separates us from God. God called to them and
said, "Where art thou?" They said, "We hid ourselves because we were
naked." God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat of the
tree whereof I commanded you not to eat?" Of course, we realize that
because of sin, they knew they were naked. Before they had sinned, they
didn't think anything about their nakedness. But after they sinned they
made themselves clothes of fig leaves. No doubt they thought quickly of
something or they would have chosen something more substantial than
leaves. The leaves would soon dry and crack, but they were so ashamed of
their nakedness because of their sin. Not only did they need a covering
for their bodies but they also needed a covering for their souls. God
can't look upon sin with any pleasure. Sin will cause us to be cast out
