After having sinned, Adam saw that he was naked!
And the Lord God said to him:
« Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? »(Genesis 3:11)
Instead of answering in the affirmative, Adam justified himself by saying:
« The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. »(Genesis 3:12)
When the Lord God asked the woman why she had done this, she too refused to take responsibility. She replied:
« The serpent deceived me, and I ate. »(Genesis 3:13)
In fact, for many people, the tendency is always to justify themselves and to blame someone else rather than to apologize or ask for forgiveness.
As Christians, we should be humble, *acknowledge our faults and spontaneously ask for forgiveness from those we have offended*.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us to always recognize our faults and to ask for forgiveness.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
