2. The Sin

 

 

 

The Sin

We all generally know that sin is not good and admit honestly that we shouldn’t commit it.

Sin – as a biblical definition – means the transgression of the divine command, as it is written:

17 All unrighteousness is sin” (1 John 5.17)

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”

(1 John 3.4)

We sin most often deliberately and wittingly.
This way of acting is based on the thought that as a free man one is allowed to do everything he wants, as on the self-assurance that doing impermissible things we aren’t being watched.

This is not so. The Bible’s Word says:

1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.”

(Psalm 139.1-5)
