Don't get my wrong, satan is a powerful foe, just don't use him as an excuse.
One of the hardest things to do is to face the fact YOU are a sinner. You sin, and it is your fault.
You Are Guilty!
We hate guilt and all that goes with it. All the shame, anger, frustration, and loneliness drove us to create the blame game. In the Garden, Man and Woman chose to sin. God of All comes down to fellowship with them as He had done all their lives, but they had changed because of sin, and they hid themselves.
Genesis 3:9-13
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
The blame game had begun. In attempt to sweep away sin, we tried shifting the blame... Trying to hide who was actually guilty. The fact of the matter all three were guilty, and the Lord knew it. Verses 14-19 list the punishments God gave for each one of them.
Guilt is an ever expanding weight of discomfort and sorrow. No one likes to bear it, and there is only one way I know of to rid oneself of it: trust Christ.
God the Father sent God the Son to live a sinless life on earth and take the death penalty for us, so that we may have fellowship with Him, and be made righteousness.
The only one that care lift the guilt from our shoulders, and the Creator of All.
