what is sin?

Can you answer this simply?

Was your first thought of what you’ve done or what others are doing wrong?

The question is not “who does sin”- it is “what is sin” ?

If I am right in how you answered, then you will soon be relieved to know that the Word of God explains simply what sin is. Especially for those seeking the truth.

And if you don’t agree with the answers below, then I challenge you to bring “receipts” show me where the Word says otherwise.

Because what I will share is not what the world believes ~ but what the Word says of the true children God who believe.

God’s true children abide in Him, His Word and His Ways. 1John 3

He makes them strong in the confidence of their hope and they are not ashamed before Him because His is their teacher.

He is righteous and everyone who practices the act of right doing is born of Him. It is God’s will that all who love Him – are called children of God.

In this respect we are to be like Him, not a “god” but Holy like Him.

What is Holy? God is Holy.

What makes a man Holy- God’s presence abiding in them.

Surrendering daily to walk with Him – this gives hope to whoever seeks Him that they will be purified by His presence from a sin filled life.

So, what is sin? What does sin do?
Are you beginning to see the connection yet?

Sin is lawlessness.

God is the Law ~ read the 10 commandments. Exodus 20

Now read where Jesus says which laws are important. Matt 22

He says the first is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself. Again, incase you missed this, He did not change anything from the original TEN ~ He fulfilled them.

The first four commandments are how to love the Lord your God, the next six commandments are how to love your neighbor.

And if you are being honest you already know you have not done this perfectly.

We have all fallen short. Romans 3:23

But Jesus.

He did all perfectly and because of His strength, we can give our free will to Him, offer our lives in surrender to do His good will, and become stronger daily.

Friends the only way to not transgress against God- is to abide with Him. This is the only strength we need to be concerned with.

Make Him your first choice daily, He made you His ultimate choice.

In Christ love, amen
