Who is Responsible for Me?

Some people say, "If God made me this way then he is responsible for what I do and the way I live." No, my friend -- God only created Adam and Eve and in the beginning they were without sin. But they rebelled against the command of God and now sin has entered into the human race, and all have partaken in sin (see Romans 5).

He tells us in Jeremiah 2:21 "Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?" Man has turned into a strange vine indeed. He is far from the man that God wants man to be. If he, however, will turn to Jesus Christ he can be grafted into the true vine again.
