    God’s perfect plan for us allows us to make mistakes and learn from them. God’s perfect plan allows us free will and an option to follow God’s rules or go our own way and suffer the consequences. God’s rules are given to us out of God’s great love for u

    Real Sin has real consequences. Only God can deal with them and he does that via the Cross
