The Deal with Sin

What is the deal with sin? Sin is any wrongdoing that offends God or hurts the heart of God. Sin puts our eternal souls at risk. All sin is equally offensive to God. There is no grading system. It is all equally bad. We sin through actions, inactions, thoughts, and words. All sin is forgivable by God if we are saved in Christ. Accept one. The sin of going to our graves rejecting Christ. Remember the swimmer who consigned himself to the watery grave? Christ never sinned. God is aware of all our sins. Jesus died for us to save us from the eternal torment we would suffer because of our sins. Our justification in Christ saves us. Our sanctification in Christ fortifies us from Sin. God says to you: “I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.” – Isaiah 44:22
