#### More Information About This Topic
In the Bible, “sin” and “guilt” are similar things. Every person has sinned against God and is guilty (see: Romans 3:23; 5:12-14). David wrote that he was guilty even before he was born (see: Psalm 51:5). David said this to talk about how it is impossible for people not to sin against God. All people deserve to be punished by God because they are all guilty. Only by God’s grace and mercy can a person no longer be guilty. This is because God sent Jesus to die for people’s sins (see: John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 5:2; Hebrews 7:27). God forgives those who believe in Jesus. God no longer considers them guilty of sinning against him.
