GTP Guest: Brandon - What is Sin?

In this deep-diving and thought-provoking episode of the Gospel Truth Project podcast, host Jason is joined once again by special guest and friend, Brandon, to tackle the weighty and often misunderstood doctrine of sin. Moving beyond the modern cultural idea of simply "making a mistake," Jason and Brandon look to the original biblical languages and the early church fathers to uncover what sin truly is—a rebellious disease of the flesh that separates us from God's perfect moral law.Join us as we explore:Defining the Terms (Ad Fontes): A deep dive into the original Hebrew (chata, pesha) and Greek (hamartia, anomia) to understand how "missing the mark" leads to an enslaving condition of lawlessness.The Sin Cycle: Breaking down James 1 and 1 John 5 to understand how fleshly temptation gives birth to sin, and what it actually means for a sin to "lead to death".The Tripartite Law: Understanding the difference between God's civil, ceremonial, and eternal moral law, and why Christians aren't hypocrites for avoiding the works of the flesh while eating shellfish.Works of the Flesh vs. Fruit of the Spirit: A hard look at Galatians 5 and why true grace is not merely God overlooking our sin, but the divine power granted by the Holy Spirit to actively stop sinning.Whether you are struggling with the exhaustion of repeated failure or seeking clarity on the biblical cost of discipleship, this conversation is designed to point you directly to the Great Physician.
