Definition of Sin

The Definition of Sin Revealed

The definition of sin has become so elusive today that there are so-called “sins” in many churches that cannot be found in Scripture. How do you know what a sin is? True, we see very well-defined sins in Scripture, such as adultery, fornication, stealing, lying, murder, etc., but what about the things that are not revealed in Scripture? Is it a sin not to give ten percent of your wages to the Church? Is it a sin for a husband to ignore his wife? What about which movies you watch, what you wear, what friends you hang out with, going to a party…, how do we know if they are sins.

“Missing the mark” as a definition of sin is very prevalent in today’s teachings. However, there is a problem with this definition. First of all, what mark are we missing? When we start asking this question, we will find that the answer is a moving target. Secondly, this definition is so generic that it allows for really anything to be put in as the mark missed.

Sin (Lawlessness)

The Origin of Sin

The Definition of Sin

Sin is lawlessness. When someone knowingly does something that ignores the standards that God has set for them to live by, they are sinning2. Sin for a Christian is anything that is not done out from faith.

Through Sin, Death Entered the World

Adam’s trespass caused spiritual death and his sin caused physical death3. The sin and trespass of Adam were imputed unto all mankind, therefore all mankind is spiritually dead in sin and all are dying physically4. Prior to Adam’s sin death was not know in the world. Only the Christians that are physically alive at the time of the rapture will not face physical death. These Christians will pass over death into life 5.
