Sin

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: SIN

Romans 3:23 says we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. With it being something we are all guilty of, what is sin according to the Bible?

(1 John 3:4) Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

A simple definition of sin, disobedience to God’s laws. Breaking God’s rules would be another way to put it. The Ten Commandments give us examples of rules from God. From these commandments we know that when we lie, steal , or kill, we have sinned.

THE BEGINNING OF SIN FOR HUMANS

(Romans 5:12) Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned

When Adam and Eve chose to eat fruit from the tree God told them not to eat from, this was the beginning of our sinful nature. From Adam we have all inherited the tendency to choose doing our own will instead of doing the will of God. As humans we do not have to be taught to sin. Unfortunately, it just comes natural.

SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD

(Isaiah 59:2) But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

The biggest problem with sin is that it separates us from God. It’s not a matter of one being worse than another with sin because they all separate us from our creator. The truth is the unrepentant murderer will go to the same place as a liar who never repents.

WHAT IS SIN?
Death Without Jesus

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jesus is the answer to sin. With his death on the cross, Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins. God himself came to earth in the form of a man and made a way of salvation for us all. (Romans 5:19) says by one man (Adam) we were made sinners and by one man (Jesus) many will be made righteous.

While we have inherited a sinful nature, we have also been given a choice that can free us from our sins. We make the choice to either follow after the Spirit of God, or to follow after our own desires.

Following after God begins with obeying his plan of salvation. This includes being baptized for the forgiveness of our sins.

To follow after our own sinful desires will lead to eternal death, so choose wisely.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

LET US PRAY
Today, may God remember his death and forgive us and clean us from all our Sins and show us his mercy in Jesus Name.
