In this study, we will see
that all Christians do sin; how God's
grace keeps us in spite of our sin; what
sin does to the Christian; how to
receive God's forgiveness and cleansing;
and how to live a life of victory over
sin. In this lesson, I want to talk more
specifically about "Why Christians Sin".
But first, "What is sin"?
Sin is
the transgression of a divine command,
meaning it is an act, the violation of,
or want of obedience to the revealed
Word of God. Sin is the denial of the
divine right to command, representing
lawlessness or spiritual anarchy. It is
a failure to attain the divine standard,
otherwise known as missing the mark.
No matter who you are, even if you
think you are the most perfect person
who has ever existed, you still have sin
in your life. All Christians do! No
Christian can have day-by-day victory
over sin and live a happy, joyful,
triumphant life until they face the
actual facts about sin in their own
nature, sin in their own life, what sin
will do, and what to do about it.
Remember what it says in Jeremiah
17:9, "The heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked; who can
know it?
