WHAT IS SIN


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: What is Sin?

I. Definition of Sin

A. Augustine said: Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent, and self-sustained.

B. Regarding sin, one observed:
Man calls it an accident, God calls it an abomination

Man calls it a blunder, God calls it a blindness

Man calls it a defect, God calls it a disease

Man calls it chance, God calls it a choice

Man calls it an error, God calls it enmity

Man calls it fascination, God calls it fatality

Man calls it an infirmity, God calls it iniquity

Man calls it luxury, God calls it leprosy

Man calls it liberty, God calls it lawlessness

Man calls it a trifle, God calls it a tragedy

Man calls it a mistake, God calls it madness

Man calls it a weakness, God calls it willfulness

The Bible definition of sin:
1. Old Testament words for sin
a. transgression, rebellion (Exod. 34:7; Psa. 32:1, 2)

b. that which is twisted or crooked (Psa. 51: 2, 5)

2. New Testament words for sin
a. to miss the mark (Rom. 3:23; Eph. 4:26)

b. transgressing or overpassing a line (Rom. 4:15; Gal. 3:19)

c.falling where one should have stood (Rom. 4:25; 5:15)

d. lawlessness (Matt. 7:23; 13:41)

e. bending the right and making it crooked (2 Tim. 2:19;
Acts 8:23)

Don't play with sin, if you fall into it ask God for forgiveness and stand your grand again in righteousness.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME. BREAK EVERY CHAINS OF SIN ON US IN JESUS NAME.
