Sin is the transgression
of the law of God.
For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God.
The wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin is any thought, word, or deed that falls short of the glory of God or transgresses His law. All have sinned. The wages of sin is death. Sin separates from God and brings judgment. Jesus bore our sins in His own body on the cross. Through His blood there is forgiveness, justification, and salvation. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.
