The Bible and your conscience tells you right from wrong.
God tells us what is right and wrong in His Word, the Bible. The Bible teaches that anything that displeases and dishonors God is wrong and sin. The Ten Commandments are a list of sinful, wrong things: stealing, lying, dishonoring your parents, and more. When we sin, we feel guilty because God has given us a conscience that helps us know right from wrong.
God wants us to love Him with all of ourselves and to love other people as we love ourselves. Sometimes, you might not be sure if something is right or wrong. In that case, you should pray about it, look in the Bible, and ask your parents or a trusted adult for advice. Only through Jesus can we be forgiven for the wrong things we do. And Jesus changes our lives to help us do right things that please God!
Bible Truth
"The LORD has told you, human, what is good; he has told you what he wants from you: to do what is right to other people, love being kind to others, and live humbly, obeying your God" (Micah 6:8).
"Jesus answered, '"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind." This is the first and most important command. And the second command is like the first: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself"'" (Matthew 22:37-39, NCV).
"They show that in their hearts they know what is right and wrong, just as the law commands. And they show this by their consciences" (Romans 2:15a, NCV).
