Is there anything that justifies sin?

Many people who fall into temptation say it happens because "the flesh is weak"... As if this would justify sin.
When the Lord speaks about it, His aim is to encourage us to watch in order not to fall into temptation; that is, we should never allow anything to distract our faith or cause us to leave the environment of faith. When we leave the environment of faith, we enter the environment of doubt and, consequently, we become more vulnerable; therefore, it is essential for us to be vigilant and pray so that we do not enter into temptation.

Our choice of friends also has great influence in this aspect. Many have fallen into temptation and try to justify their behavior by blaming others. This is exactly what Adam did when he blamed Eve for his downfall (Genesis 3.12).
We should never justify our sins by pointing our finger at others - not even at the devil! This shouldn't be done because it will not exempt us from eternal death.
"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed." (James 1.14)
For this reason, everyone is accountable for their own faults before the Almighty. On Judgement Day, everyone will be judged individually and according to their own actions. The weakness of the flesh cannot justify sin, for God does not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able (1 Corinthians 10.13).
Sin leads to doubt; doubt weakens your faith and, without faith, it is impossible to please God.
That's why sin kills. And most of the times, it doesn't happen suddenly, but little by little...
