Sin Quotes
-
Some might argue that the current generation seems uninterested in Christianity because they want to avoid issues like sin and repentance, but I don’t think that’s the case.

Christ’s resurrection demonstrates that Christ has completely, decisively, and once for all triumphed over sin and its greatest power!
