What is Sin?


I write these things to you with great joy as we are epistles of Christ and Epistles read by all men. I share some uncommon truth with you today and i am sure it will bless you.These truths are often challenged fiercely by religious folks, people who have not allowed the light of Gods word penetrate their hearts.

The concept of sin, its definition and its work has made millions of Christians ineffective and has reduced their Christian experience to almost nothing. The sin nature came to the world and everyone in the world through Adam. After Adam sinned, the lineage of mankind was corrupted so that everyone born into the world, was born with the nature of sin. However, this is not where the story ends. God introduced a sacrifice, and Jesus was that sacrifice. He paid a price that altered completely the sate of things that were before Jesus came.

In the old testament, sin was regarded as the transgression of the law. Once you did  something contrary to the law (The 10 Commandments) you had sinned. But after Jesus came and died, the Transgression of the law was no longer regarded as sin. This is because  the Law was abolished completely. Now when there is no law, there couldn't be any transgression.

Therefore Sin is no longer the transgression of the law. The bible tells us clearly in Rom 14:23  that under the new order of Grace that Jesus introduced, it is anything that is not of Faith that is regarded as sin. Wow! This is so amazing. God wants us to live free and be able to enjoy all the provisions that He has made available in Christ.

Let me make this clear. In the new life that Jesus brings, whatever I do without faith is sin. If i pray for the sick and i don't have faith they will be healed, I am in sin. If I slip and have sex, this is not sin. But when i don't have faith in the mercy that Jesus has made available, then I am in sin.

Heb 11:6 says without Faith it is impossible to please God. Only sin does not please God, and if a lack of faith in God word does not please God then that tells you that my lack of faith is what God considers as sin.

Dear friends, don't allow the enemy to cripple you by the mistakes you have made. For some, it was not even a mistake, it was deliberate. Whatever it is that you did wrong (stole, lied, etc) is not regarded as sin. The lack of faith in God's ability to heal and forgive is what God considers as sin.

From today, quit looking for sin in the wrong places. Sin is found when i don't have faith.

God bless you as you continue to develop and exercise your faith in God's word
