Guys & Gals & Sin

The questions I'm going to answer today are, "Do guys and girls have different sins (like are there some sins that are categorized as only boys or only girls)?" and "If I know it's wrong, how come sin feels so good?"

Do guys and girls have different gender specific sins? "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. ( James 4:17 NKJ)" Sin is choosing to go against God's will. In God's eyes, men and women are the same- we are His creation, we are human. Although there is a difference between guys and girls in both thought and appearance, we all have the same choice, to obey God... or disobey him. We can choose what God wants or what we want. This may play out differently in what girls think and do verses what guys think and do. But really all sin is the the same thing, disobedience to God.

If I know it's wrong, how come sin feels so good? Sin feels good, because it's what we want, and we don't typically want something that feels bad or uncomfortable. "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way... (Isaiah 53:6 NIV)" When we turn from God and do what we want, we sin. What we don't often realize is that what we want is fleeting, it's temporary enjoyment & satisfaction. But that soon goes away & we are left feeling empty & worse off. We don't realize and nor do we remember the result and consequence of sin. Don't give into the empty promises and false satisfaction of sin. Choose to obey and follow God in all that you do, whether you are a guy or a girl.
