Bible Study About Sin!

1-SIN—GENERAL INFORMATION

The word sin, along with sinful, sinned, sinner, sinnest, sinneth, sinning, and sins appears in the KJV approximately 827 times. To adequately cover this subject would take far more material than any known Bible course offers. Nevertheless, we hope to give you a good overview of this subject.

2-WHAT IS SIN?

Many definitions of sin can be given. This is but one from God's Word. It is written, WHOSOEVER (or everyone who) COMMITTETH SIN (or keeps sinning) TRANSGRESSETH ALSO (or is violating) THE LAW: FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION (or violation) OF THE LAW (sin is lawlessness)-1 Jn 3:4.

3-DIFFERENT TYPES OF SIN

There are different types of sin.
There is personal sin. This is the act of a person’s will. This covers falling short of a mark, or going too wide.
Consider these five words:
transgression
iniquity
error
sin
greater sin
There is also wickedness. The basic, inward nature of man is wickedness. This nature will outwardly express itself in a person through wicked deeds or fruits. Does a person need to teach a child to lie or steal? No. Rather they need to train the child to do what is good and right. Every child that is born, by his very nature, knows how to do wickedness.

Another form of sin is an attitude that opposes the goodness and holiness of God.

There is ungodliness. The person lacks respect, awe, or reverence towards God. They do not fear God. It is written, BY THE FEAR OF THE LORD MEN DEPART FROM EVIL-Pv 16:6.

There is disobedience or the unwillingness to be led or guided in the ways of truth.

There is unbelief or failure to trust in God.

There is lawlessness or an open contempt of divine law.

It is the sin nature that produces the acts. The sons of Adam received the sin nature of Adam.
