What is sin?Sin is any failure to conform to the moral law of God in act,attitude or nature.We all know that sin is harmful to our lives and that it brings painand destructive consequences to others and us. However, it much more serious than what it does to others because it is a direct contradiction, violation and rebellion to thevery holiness of God.
 
 
Scriptural support for the definition of sin1 John 3:4 - Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness;and sin is lawlessness.James 4:17 - Therefore, to one who knows
the
right thing to do anddoes not do it, to him it is sinRomans 14:23 - “…and whatever is not from faith is sin.Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
 
 
Biblical evidence for the doctrine of sin

Jeremiah 13:23 (NIV): "Can the Ethiopian change his skin or theleopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed todoing evil.”
Romans 3:10-11: "None is righteous, no, not one; no oneunderstands; no one seeks for God.”
Romans 8:7-9: "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile toGod, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Thosewho are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in theflesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong tohim."
Ephesians 2:3b: "[We] were by nature children of wrath, like therest of mankind."
