all about sin

Before you start, PRAY. Ask God’s Holy Spirit to open your heart to receive His Word and to show you how to apply it in your life. Do not copy the scriptures, but answer the questions briefly and in your own words. Sin is the failure to obey any of God’s commandments or laws. 1. How does the Bible describe sin? 1 John 3:4____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. What is the result of sin? Romans 6:23__________________________________________________________________________________________ James 1:15___________________________________________________________________________________________ To better understand the effects of sin, think of death as SEPARATION. A. Spiritual death—Your sins have separated you from God. B. Physical death—It separates the spirit and soul from the body. C. Eternal death—If you remain lost in your sins, they will separate you from the mercy of God forever. (This is the greatest punishment of Hell.) To be Righteous means “to do right: to be totally innocent before God in regards to obeying His commandments.” 3. How many of us are righteous? Romans 3:10 ________________________________________________________________
