  "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,...Romans 3:23

“If a person sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord, though he does not know it,

yet he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity."  Leviticus 5:17

Insight: Sin is disobedience to God resulting in a separation from Him.

"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath,

selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries,

and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past,

that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galations 5:19-21

[ The Unpardonable Sin ]

“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men."   Mathew 12:31

"Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”

"Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." Mathew 18:21-22

Sin, Detestable and Cursable

Puritan Thomas Watson 1600's - On Sin

“But woe to you who are rich,
For you have received your consolation.    Luke 6:24

​

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1 Timothy 6: 7,9-10

On Original Sin

"And even as they did not like to

retain God in their knowledge,

God gave them over to a debased mind,

to do those things which are not fitting; 

being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,wickedness, covetousness, 

maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 

who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them." Romans 1:28-32

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" 2 Timothy 3:1-5

"Therefore, what conclusion should we reach? “Let’s go on sinning, because we’re not under legalism but under grace”? Heaven forbid! 

Don’t you know that if you present yourselves

to someone as obedient slaves, then,

of the one whom you are obeying,

you are slaves — whether of sin,

which leads to death, or of obedience,

which leads to being made righteous?" 

Romans 6:15-16

"For just as you used to offer your various parts as slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led to more lawlessness; so now offer your various parts as slaves to righteousness,

which leads to being made holy,

set apart for God."  Romans 6:19
