What the Bible Says...

What The Bible Says About Sin And Men?












WHAT IS SIN?


Sin is the transgression of the law of God"
"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." {1 John 3:4}


The great barrier between God and man is Sin.









Sin is the reason why Christ came into the world.
 "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" {John 1:29}.
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." {Matthew 1:21} 








Sin is rebellion against God - disobedience to His will.
"All unrighteousness is sin:" {1 John 5:17}


Sins are the product of our sinful nature. There are sins of thoughts, word or deeds.
"For in many things we offend all."  
{James 3:2}








The essential step in knowing Christ in a personal way is to realize the existence of sin in our life.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." {1 John 1:9}
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" {Acts 3:19}




ARE ALL MEN SINNERS?


This question is often asked. And the answer is YES, ALL of us have sinned.
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"  
{Romans 3:10}
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"  
{Romans 3:23}
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." {1 John 1:8}  

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and
the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." {Isaiah 53:6}
