Sam was a bad person, just like the rest of us. And we've got the Ten Commandments to prove it.
First of all, there was the time Sam stole his neighbor's lawn gnome and painted it pink as a prank. That's definitely breaking the commandment "Thou shalt not steal."
But it's not just theft that Sam is guilty of. He's also broken the commandment "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Just ask his ex-girlfriend - Sam told her he was a professional ballroom dancer, but it turns out he had only taken one lesson and was completely tone-deaf.
And let's not forget about the commandment "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods." Sam was constantly envious of his friend's new car and kept trying to find ways to get his hands on it.
But wait, there's more! Sam has also broken the commandment "Honor thy father and thy mother." Just ask his parents - they've complained about how little he visits them and how little he values their advice.
Despite all of these sins, Sam knew that he could be forgiven by God's grace through trusting in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for sinners. So he repented and asked for forgiveness, and was able to start living a new life in Christ. And as for the pink lawn gnome, Sam returned it to his neighbor with a heartfelt apology.
