The
Bible Gives Several Definitions For Sin
How can we know what sin is? Shall we take a poll?
Shall we define it for ourselves? Shall we allow each family or each communictyt to define
it in whatever way they see best.
Since Sin relates to how we treat God and since He
is the one we disrespect and disobey, then it is God alone who has the right to tell us
what sin is. And, it is for us to acknowledge the reality of sin in our own lives and
humbly submit ourselves to Him to avoid the consequences of our sins.
