Psalm 51:5
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, in sin did my mother conceive me.
David is not trying to say that the act of his conception was sinful but, instead, that his sinfulness had existed as long as he had. Sin is natural to us, no child needs to be taught how to sin. As long as we hold onto an idea of ourselves as being essentially good people who have made a few bad choices we will only ever be looking to Jesus as a moral guide, not a Saviour. We wont rejoice about his rescue mission until we realise that we need rescuing.
