This is a question that many people try to ignore or get around. But an honest thinking person will not do that but will be willing to look at themselves in the light of the answer. Now as always we must look to the bible as the the one and only authority. In the book of Psalms, chapter 58 and verse 3 we find a very interesting and definitive statement "The wicked are estranged from the womb, they go astray as soon as  they be born, speaking lies" That is me, you, and everyone. What does this mean and what can be done for it?

First, I want to suggest that man, all of us are born in sin. That is with a sin nature and a love and desire to sin. David said in Psalms 51:5  that the reason he had committed a terrible sin was  because he had a sinful nature. Isaiah said that "man is a transgressor from the womb" Isaiah 48;8. Paul said in Ephesians 2;1-3 "You hath he quickened(made alive spiritually) who were dead trespesses and  in sin and were by nature the children of wrath'.

Now it seems as if man was born to sin.A child wil show his sinful nature from a very early age by being disrespectful, disobedient and having a smart mouth  disposition. If you doubt this look at all the violence caused by children today. No matter how many so called  counseling programs there  are it is not getting any better.Jeremiah 10:23 said"I know that the way of man is not in himself;it is not in man that walketh  to direct his steps"

Thankfully there is a solution.When the man came to Jesus by night in John 3,and Jesus  knowing his heart said to him; "except a man be 'born again' (born from above) he cannot see the kingdom of God.To be pleasing to God and go to Heaven we mut have a new nature. That comes by Repentence and Faith in Jesus for our Salvation. 2 Corinthians 7;10-11 says "Godly sorrow worketh Repentence. "I am sorry for my sins and I am trusting Jesus to save my soul" Will you say that and put your Faith and Trust in him(Jesus) for your Salvation?  Thank You.
