There are 7 Deadly Sins that actually made us further away from God.
Firstly, It's LUST
Lust is an intense desire. It is usually thought of as excessive sexual wants, however the word was originally a general term for desire. Therefore lust could involve the intense desire of money, fame, or power as well.
Secondly, It's GLUTTONY
Gluttony can be interpreted as selfishness; essentially placing concern with one's own interests above the well-being or interests of others.
Thirdly, It's GREED
Greed also known as avarice, is like Lust or Gluttony, a sin of excess. However, its applied to a very excessive desire and pursuit of material possessions.
Fourthly, It's SLOTH
Sloth
is sometimes defined as physical laziness and spiritual laziness. Failing to develop spiritually is key to becoming guilty of sloth. In the Christian faith, sloth rejects grace and God. Sloth has also been defined as a failure to do things that one should do. By this definition, evil exists when good men fail to act.
Fifthly, It's WRATH
Wrath is also known as RAGE. Wrath in it's purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath is the only sin that is not necessarily associated with selfishness or self-interest, although one can of course be wrathful or selfish reasons, such as jealousy (envy).
Sixly, It's ENVY
Envy is like Greed or Lust. It's characteristed by an insatiable desire. Envy is similar to jealousy in that they both feel discontent towards someones trait, status, abilities, or rewards.
''Neither shall you desire..anything that belongs to your neighbor''
Lastly, It's PRIDE
Pride is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self. It's also like holding self out of proper position towards God.
