4 COMMON SINS OF AN AVERAGE TEENAGER!
Teenagers these days tend to commit sins that they do not realise that they doing it. There are a few where we commit everyday. Things like procrastination and stereotyping is part and parcel of a modern teenager life. It is sad to say though. Procrastination We commit it all the time. To the basics of snoozing the alarm for 5 more mins of sleep to the greatest where we procrastinate to do our homework. Procrastination is one of the most crucial sins that teenagers commit everyday. Procrastination can allow one to face dire consequences. I am actually procrastinated to write this post. I initially wanted to post this up a few hours ago. But, procrastination overcame me. Stereotyping Face it. All humans are born stereotypical. This is the sin that everyone commits day by day. Example: Our parents has some sort of brainwashed us in the past that Indian people are bad and would catch us away if we misbehave and sorts. This saying never changes down the years and it is passed down generation by generation making us be stereotypical that Indians are bad people. Perceptual Error Everyone commits it. This sin is where we judge people based on their appearance and what we have experienced first hand with them. This is the most grave sin that we commit as this sin can make one lose a friend or trust the wrong people. Example: Person A is the best friend of Person B. Person A was caught going out with Person B's boyfriend. Person B was so furious that she punched Person A and stop being friends with Person B. From the scenario, you all might think that Person A deserved to be punched as she is a bitch for going out with Person B's boyfriend. Little did Person B know is that Person A went out with Person B's boy friend so that they could get the perfect birthday gift for her. Reading the first part, you all must be thinking that Person A is a bitch, a whore for doing so. Most teenagers these days is that they see the surface of things and tend to immediately jump to conclusions.
FORNICATION
Teenage fornication is becoming rampant in our age. You can see a boy of 14 sleeping with a girl and feels there is nothing wrong with what he has done. In the 10 commandments, the bible says do not fornicate. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 ESV Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.Hebrews 13:4 ESV Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.John 8:41-42 ESV: You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.” Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.Galatians 5:19-21 ESV:Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. The sins that are committed by teenagers these days can be avoided by knowing what is the situation first before saying about other people. Perceptual Error is the easiest to avoid as all we need to do is understand the situation at hand before jumping to the conclusion.
YOU CAN SAY A SHORT PRAYER:
Father , i know i have sinned and come short of your glory. I committed different sins which were stated are forbidden. O lord have mercy on me and count me among the ones which shall make heaven.I thank you lord for accepting me, may your mighty name be magnified o lord. Amen
