Shifting blame

7/24/2019

0 Comments

 
​After Adam and Eve sin in the garden, not only do they first respond by trying to hide from God, their second response is to shift the blame for their actions unto others. When God asks Adam if he had eaten from the forbidden tree, Adam points his finger at Eve – she gave it to me. But he doesn’t just blame Eve. He blames God saying, “The woman whom You gave me, God, she gave me from the tree and I ate.” Eve does the same thing by blaming the serpent. The New Testament teaches that we should take personal responsibility for our sin. James 1:13 says, “Let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by God. For God cannot be tempted by evil and He Himself does not tempt anyone.” When you choose to sin you can't blame Satan. You can't blame the world's culture. When you choose to sin you have only one person that you can blame. Look at the end of the verse. “But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.” Every time you sin, and reap the consequences to that action, you really only have one person that you can blame and that's yourself because at the end of the day you chose to sin.
