how can i tell if i have sin

[deerhunter1224]

I was wondering how can I know if I've sinned? The seven deadly sins they are sins there are more then 7. For example envy. If I envy a person that he/she has done well on a exam. Is that bad? Or pride say I want to do well in life. I have pride to do well. Or gluntity (sp?) whats the point that say you have eaten or drank to much?

Good question, deerhunter there are 2 ways to tell if you have sinned, some are spelled out very plainly in scripture, but some of them you have to rely on the Spirit to let you know. One example is gluttony... if you feel that you are over eating or eating just to eat the Spirit will let you know you are. Another example is when you are doing or getting ready to do something and it does not feel right, that small yet clear voice of the Spirit is letting you know that it is not right..... at least it is not right for you. Confused on that last one? Well for some folks to have an occasional drink is not an issue, but for others a single drink can be just the very beginning of a downward spiral of drunkeness which is sinful.

Amen Taz,

Also brother the Holy Spirit as talked about inJOhn 16 came to convict us of sin. Romans 14 made it easy.."Whatever is without faith is sin." I heard it said to me as a babe in Christ.

If you have doubt
You can do without.

Heres one way

Romans 3:23

23.For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Holy Bible -- King James Version

Just being born we are born in sin.
With the first bite of the forbidden fruit.
Sin was passed down on all of us

But theres good news ( Not saving on my car insurance LoL )

1st John 1:9
9.If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Holy Bible -- King James Version

God commands: "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). This command must seem very hard to obey for people who get to thinking that other people must be right in what they think and say and practice. The Bible shows that many people in Jesus"™ day failed in their worship, for "they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God" (John 12:43).

If you have the Holy Spitit residing in you, you will know when you sin. It is like a conscience, but real. Really, if you are doing something you know is wrong.
