THE FIRST STEP . . .

DISCOVERY OF SIN... Sin is anything I do that displeases God... and the sinner is anyone who practices those things. Anytime I consider myself, my ambitions, or my feeling as more important than God, or do something that I know is wrong, I am practicing sin. I know I am a sinner. I have sinned against God, against my neighbor, and against my soul. I have sinned in my thoughts, and in my feelings, in my conversations, and in my actions. I have sinned in the world, in my business, and in my pleasure. I have done many things I should not have done... I freely admit it. I will not cover up or make excuses for my sins. My sins are more than I can count, and they have dishonored my Heavenly Father, treated the sacrifice of JESUS my Savior as worthless, and have had a bad influence not only upon the members of my own family, but upon my friends and acquaintances as well. I now realize that I FULLY DESERVE the everlasting displeasure of God and I see that if I should die in my sins I would be eternally separated from God... falling into the damnation of hell.
