Sin: Concepts and Victory

Sin is one doctrine today in the body of Christ that has been a victim of two extremes in the body of Christ and this is because there has been no balanced teaching on this doctrine and most times to avoid offending these two extremes, many teachers of the word shy away from teaching it which is more detrimental to the body as many are weighed down by the guilt and condemnation of sin and some others are living a wayward life as though they are not children of God. Originally humanity was created without sin, and thus their mind rightly reflected on the Creator and his creation, their affections properly loved God, and their will followed after the good. However, with the fall these faculties became disordered. Even after believers are redeemed by God they will continue to struggle with the abiding vestiges of sin that disorient the faculties, a condition that remains throughout their earthly life. The focus of our teaching series on this subject is to teach us what sin entails and most importantly rid us of sin consciousness as a pre cursor to our victory over sin.
