Understanding the Truth About Sin: Its Nature, Consequences, and God’s Grace

Sin is often seen as a negative subject, yet it was the reason for the coming of the sinless Son of God (Rom. 5:6-8). All have sinned (Rom. 3:23), making the study of sin pertinent. Sin is defined as failing to comply with God's law (I Jn. 3:4), and can occur through commission or omission. It highlights spiritual maturity and has fleeting pleasures (Heb. 11:25). Ultimately, sin separates us from God (Isa. 59:1,2). Despite societal views, sin remains unchanged throughout time. Understanding it leads us to recognize the necessity of divine grace.
