"What if someone says they’ve
never lied, stolen, lusted, blasphemed—if they
deny having any sin at all?"
Ask the person if he has
kept the First of the Ten Commandments. Has he always
loved God above all else—with all of his heart,
soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30)? If he says that
he has, gently say, "The Bible says that ‘there
is none that seeks after God’ (Romans 3:11). Nobody
(except Jesus Christ) has kept the First of the Ten
Commandments. One of you is lying—either you or
God—and the Bible says that it is impossible for
God to lie" (Hebrews 6:18; Titus 1:2).
