1427. Sin

Sin

Rom_3:9-23

Sin Scripturally Defined (Rom_7:13).

Who have Sinned? (1Jn_1:8, 1Jn_1:10).

The Wages of Sin (Rom_6:23).

Sins and the Saviour (Mat_1:21).

The Sins of the Saved (1Jn_2:1).

The Sins of the Wicked (Rom_3:19).

There is a clearly drawn distinction between God's attitude to sin and man's attitude to sin. God considered sin as so heinous as to merit death. In Habakkuk we read, "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity" (Rom_1:13). Man hugs sin to his heart. Man plays with sin. He follows it as one follows a mirage. God considered sin so heinous as to demand the death of His Son in order to save the sinner. The lesson of today gives us a study of sin from six distinctive viewpoints. Most of the subdivisions may prove unpleasant to consider, but they are important. Withal, we should thank God that there is a Saviour from sin.
