Bible Question:
Hi, I hope everyones doing good...well today I have a question about sin... In the bible, does it say, that sin takes? Meaning just in general that sin takes? Also and that love gives? which makes them opposites? Because I know that love gives whole heartedly, and sin takes, but God can give love to those whom have everything taken from them... Also is it true that love is seperate from us, but yet it's one with us whom choose to be it? Thanks for answering... |
Bible Answer: Hello NightJay0044, The nature of sin is not that it relly takes anything, or, what would it do with it? Is it alive? Do not misunderstand me here, I am just trying to put your question in proper perspective. The Bible uses different words to describe our broken relationship with God. In that sense, sin would take away our fellowship with our Creator, as it 'builds' a wall of separation. This kinda gives sin a life of its own doesn't it? But understand that it is not actually the sin that is doing the building or tearing down, It is mostly done by us, through our freewill that God has given us. David uses three words in Psalm 32 to describe what we mostly call 'sin'. The three are slightly different as follows: Sin is a word used in archery when an arrow misses the target. That is what happens when we miss the mark, or standard of perfection that God had intended for us, like an arrow that veers off to the left or right, we go astray of His straight line of righteousness. Now, Iniquity is similar, it means to stray from a straight path that God has marked out for us. Or, to step over the line. God's path is written for us in the Bible, but the effects of sin are inside us, and we are in the world, so there are many distractions that cause us to become sidetracked or to go on dead-end trails when we seek our own goals. Then there's Transgression, and that is plain rebellion. As Creator of the universe and all that is in it, God has the right to make the rules. He has laid down the law of what is right or wrong, and when we go against Him and step outside of His guidelines, we are transgressing, or, committing a transgression. As far as being the opposite of love, The Bible tells us that God is Love, 1John 4:8 and 4:16 Since God who is holy is opposite of any form of wickedness, the two are like fire and water, they cannot exist together. Yes, That would make them opposites, I believe. For more explanation on the nature of love, look at 1Cor 13:4-8 In His Love, Tim |
