But concerning the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the orchard God said, "You must NOT eat from it, and you must NOT touch it, or else you WILL die." (Genesis 3:3)
Rules are made to follow, to obey. They are NOT mad to be broken as some may say. God's rules, His commandments, His statutes are definitely made to follow, or there will surely be consequences. For some, because they have not accepted God on His terms, these consequences will be eternal!
Do not allow Satan to twist our thinking as he did Eve. God is still God. It is only because of His grace, Jesus' atoning act upon the cross, that we are forgiven and freed from sin. We must accept God's gift upon His terms. If we try to do it our way and defy His guidelines, than we will not see heaven.
Yes, we are sinners. However, we cannot CONTINUE in sin. We cannot PRACTICE sin and call it "ok" or acceptable. There is a difference between practicing sin and admitting our sin and repenting while continuing to move away from it. While our sin is forgiven at the cross, our thoughts and actions must be transformed as we day-by-day conform to His ways. (Romans 12:1-2)
