Sin is a subject we do not talk about very much these days do we.? We talk about shortcomings, missteps, mistakes and weaknesses. But sin is a problem. A BIG problem! The Bible and the Holy Spirit define sin.
Can you biblically define sin? Proverbs 19:12 asks “who can understand his errors?” We know that the Bible teaches the Bible teaches in I John 3:4 that
“sin is the transgression of the law.” We further know that sin is more than just an action that is confined to an outward deed. The very “thought of sin is foolishness” says Proverbs 24:9.
Sin is disobedience to God’s commandments and precepts.
Sin is shaking your fist in the face of God and shouting, “I will not do this!”
Sin is treason against the highest and holiest authority on the universe.
Sin is the bursting forth of pride and self-will.
Sin resists restraint.
Sin repudiates control.
Sin refuses to be under authority.
Sin resists any kind of rule.
Sin will not be under submission to God.
Sin casts off the Divine law and says “I will not obey.”
Sin is not so much what we do as it is what we are.
We are sinners.
Sinners sin.
Sinners love to sin. See John 8:24; Read Romans 3:10-18
But, thank God, Jesus loves sinners and came to give His life for His people.
He, as Man, never sinned. Not even once.
His sinlessness qualified Him to be our Substitute and Sacrifice.
Thank Jesus that He died only for sinners! I Timothy 1:15.
