A glorious and wonderful day to you my friend, I believe you’re doing great.
Welcome again to the series of teachings meant to develop and help you understand God and His perfect plan for you and the world at large, and how you can walk and succeed in His ways.
Let’s quickly move on with our teaching please…
In our last series we learned about the fall of man because sin entered through Adam.
Today men mock at sin considering it as only a human weakness or tendency.
When a sense of sin falls upon mankind they will turn to God for mercy.
Not until we understand the awfulness of sin can we understand Calvary; only as we
comprehend the meaning of Calvary do we see the exceeding sinfulness of sin as viewed by a holy, righteous God
DEFINITION OF SIN

code.
“Sin is any lack of conformity to the character of God whether in act or state.”
“Sin is a hopelessly incurable disease of the soul” (the leprosy or cancer of sin).
“Sin is characteristic of the old nature, the flesh and finds expression daily.”
I John 3:4, “.. . for sin is the transgression of the law.”
(1) Sin is an act; the breaking of a law or commandment is sin.
(2) Sin is a state; the fallen state of man without righteousness.
(3) Sin is a nature; the nature of fallen man at enmity against God.
ORIGIN OF SIN
1. Sin originated with Satan, Isa. 14:12-14. This is explained in Jas. 1 :14,15, “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. ”
2. Sin entered the world through Adam. Rom. 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered
into the world, and death by sin . . .”
3. The fact of the fall of man, Gen. 3 :1-6.
