766. Sin Is a \u201cTrespass\u201d<\/p>\n
Sin is a deviation, a lapse, a falling aside from God\u2019s requirement. The word rendered \u201ctrespasses\u201d in Mat_6:14 (paraptoma) is translated \u201csins\u201d in Eph_1:7; Eph_2:1, Eph_2:5; \u201coffence\u201d in Rom_5:15-16, Rom_5:17-18, Rom_5:20; \u201cfault\u201d in Gal_6:1; Jas_5:16; and \u201cfall\u201d in Rom_11:11. As a man who slips aside from the path falls into the ditch to his hurt, so the sinner by his deviation from the will of God has lapsed from the truth and trespassed against the God of Truth. Let us take each of the above words in their setting, for they illustrate the meaning of the word \u201ctrespass.\u201d<\/p>\n
1. Every offence against God\u2019s Word means a fall from God, and damage to us and to others. See the word \u201coffence\u201d in Rom_4:25; Rom_5:15.<\/p>\n
2. Every departure from God means a fall from the Divine purpose. See what the Spirit says about the \u201cfall\u201d of Israel in Rom_11:11, Rom_11:12.<\/p>\n
3. Every sin committed is a medium to convey spiritual death and condemnation. See the description of the condition of the Colossian and Ephesian believers before conversion\u2014Col_2:13; Eph_2:1, Eph_2:5.<\/p>\n
4. Every slip from the path of right and duty is damaging to the one who slips. See the word \u201cfault\u201d in Gal_6:1 and Jas_5:16.<\/p>\n
5. Every trespass is a falling aside from God Himself, and is an affront to Him, which He alone can forgive, but which He does when He acts in grace, for He \u201cforgives our trespasses\u201d through the Blood of Christ\u2019s satisfying and vicarious death. See the word \u201ctrespass\u201d and \u201csins\u201d in Mat_6:15; 2Co_5:19; Eph_1:7; Col_2:13.<\/p>\n
