Be Responsible for Your Actions

1 John 3:7

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

“I was late for school because my mum did not wake me up.”

“I didn’t do my homework because my parents didn’t remind me to.”

Those kinds of thoughts are actually pointing fingers at parents or blaming them for the mistake we make. This is a very childish and inappropriate act.

The Israelites said to God that they were punished because of their parents’ and ancestors’ sin, not because of their own sins. They accused God of being unjust.

But God told them they were wrong. He went on to explain that each person is responsible for their own sins:

● A righteous man will have his righteousness credited to him.

● A wicked man will have his wickedness charged against him.

● Each person will bear his own guilt, regardless of whether his father was guilty or not.

We are responsible for every decision and act we make. Stop making excuses for our sins. Instead, confess your sin to God and accept the forgiveness He offers. 

Prayer

Dear God, I want to do right and be responsible for every action I take. Amen.
