The Nature of Sin
Sin is more than breaking a command. It is missing the life of love we were created to embody and living from separation instead of communion.
Scripture
Romans 3:21–24
World English Bible (Public Domain)21But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
23for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
How has your understanding of sin been shaped by fear?
Missing the mark
The Greek word hamartia is often understood as missing the mark. An arrow has a purpose; missing matters because something real was being aimed toward.
Humanity was created to reflect love. Sin is living beneath that design.
Sin is more than breaking a command. It is missing the life of love we were created to embody and living from separation instead of communion.
