Nine: Sin is doing wrong; disobeying the Lord's commandments. I feel guilty when someone figures out I've done something wrong, and I become sad about that.
Twelve: Sin is disobeying God's commands, disobeying our parent's commands, and disobeying the Bible. God makes me feel guilty because He knows I've done something wrong. Then I say I am sorry.
Forty-seven: It is nice (at least from a parental standpoint) to see my oldest feels guilt on his own.
It seems that in thinking about their awareness of sinful behavior that I should pray to be more aware of what God's commands mean when applied to me and to be aware when I have transgressed so that I can continue to reconcile myself to God and His will for me.
As a parent how do I help them begin to have that awareness? The very same awareness that Adam and Eve have in the garden.
