Bible Question: What is sin? |
Bible Answer: The Bible defines itself: what is sin? 1 John 3:4 'sin is lawlessness'. Sin is the breaking of God's law or commandments. Col. 3:25, "The person who does wrong will be paid back for the wrong he has done." Jass 4:17, "Whoever knows what is right but doesn’t do it is sinning." Sin is the failure to do what is objectively and morally right; to do what is wrong. |
