Sin isn’t an easy subject to talk about. It’s uncomfortable because we’ve all sinned and in a place like this, talking personally about our sin is embarrassing. Nobody wants to be thought of as imperfect. I want to encourage you upfront that sharing your struggles with sin is important. Sometimes we want to get through talking about sin quickly to get to the gospel, the reconciliation of sin, but tonight we’re going to sit in it for a bit. In order to encourage each other to confess and repent from sin, we need to see how intertwined it is within us.
Let’s start by reading through Genesis 3.
Point out various aspects on what Sin is
What is Sin?
What is Sin?
Sin is any lack of conformity to the moral law of God.
We have this in this handout on the bottom as: “Sin is the failure to reach God’s intended goal.”
Where does sin come from?
Where does sin come from?
Read Romans 5:12-21
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
