Bible Question: what is sin ?? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Bro B... Welcome to the forum! Sin is any failure -- by omission, commission, inner disposition, or state -- to conform to the moral law of God. Sin always receives the retribution of God's wrath in death. Indeed, the consequences of sin are so serious that Adam's single sin in Eden killed every one of his descendants. "Sins don’t get their magnitude and horror and heinousness from humans. Sins get their magnitude and horror and heinousness from the One sinned against. An offense is heinous to the degree that the One whom we offend is worthy, and God is infinitely worthy and therefore our sins against God are infinitely heinous. And the word infinite there is a breathtaking word. That’s why hell is forever. So that’s why my sins laid against God, if they are not laid on the infinitely worthy Savior to take my place, they will endure an infinitely long punishment in hell." --John Piper In Him, Doc |
