Sin

John 8:34-36

“Jesus answered them, most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits a sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:34-36

A sin is an infraction against God’s Word. It could be a sin of lying, stealing, gossiping, murder, adultery, idolatry or anything that is not pleasing to God.

Whatever the sin is, it becomes our master, making us a slave to sin. The slave of sin may not enter the kingdom of heaven unless one repents and sins no more. The child of God, however, will live in God’s house for eternity.

“For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God, being justified by His grace through that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” Romans 3:2-26.

We are all God’s creation, but we are not all God’s children. If you have not committed yourself to God and believe in His Son Jesus Christ, He offers his arms for you to repent of your sins and enter his kingdom.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
