Evil thinking, which lead to evil acts..
These things are within us. We have need of pardon. We need forgiveness and we can only have it through the death of Jesus Christ, who came from heaven to be a substitute for us and to make an atonement for us. We need new life, so that the state of sin which is within us, generating sinful plans and words and deeds, is delivered a tremendous blow. Sin continues to be within us, even after conversion, but there is now a new life put within and a new principle, which can overcome the life and the tendency to sin. So we need pardon, we need new life and then as Christians we need an on-going struggle against the sin which is within us.
