Forgiveness

Sin began when man disobeyed God and decided to go his own way, and to this original rebellion can be traced all the evil and wrong doing in the world today. It accounts for crime. It accounts for the hatred, enmity and suspicion which exist between people of different countries and colours, religious, classes and creeds. Sin therefore is a deep-seated attitude of rebellion and hostility towards God. Sin degrades man and disrupts society; but by far its most serious effect is that it isolates us from God (Adesegun and Ogunewu, 2013)
