"Can anyone define sin anymore?"

A friend of mine asked this question on Facebook this morning. "Can anyone define sin anymore?". Well, I'm sure you all know that I couldn't help myself from answering........:)

"Sin" is 3 things: (got this from Steve Shermett)
#1 Doing the things God does NOT want us to do
#2 Not doing the things God WANTS us to do
#3 Our inability to actually do #1 or #2

We are all lost in sin, moreover there is no way any one of us can "Fix" our sin. We can try (and we do as Christians) but we will ALWAYS fall short. We will never be good enough........This is why I am so thankful that God has provided an Answer..........a way around our imperfection or our "sin".

The definition of "sin" has never changed.....The worlds ability to recognize sin has though. The exact same is true for the Answer. Jesus has never changed but the worlds ability to recognize Him has.

Some of my most favorite lyrics are those written by Casting Crowns. "What if the life that we pursue, came from a hunger for the truth. What if the family turned to Jesus, stopped asking Oprah what to do."

The only way to know what "sin" is and how to overcome it...... Read His Word daily and pray. Have a daily relationship with Jesus.......Learn from Jesus on how to live ............and stop "asking Oprah what to do".

Blessings!
