It is absolutely normal to sometimes get confused over certain things, lots of Christians sometimes do not know for certain whether what they be doing is really good or bad, and then when that happens justifications set in and we end up doing our own thing and eventually it becomes bad.
Most often this happens because we do not have the word in us? However today i want us to take simply look at what sin could be defined us.
1 John 3:4; Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin the transgression of the Law.
Basically when we go against the rule the Lord has set for us, we have sin. For instance in the Bible we learn that thou shall not kill, so killing puts us in the category of sinning.
Romans 5:19; For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
When we disobey God we sin, what he says is what we should do, the same way going against your father or mothers puts you in the category of disobedience. So the Lord says we should take the Word to the Nations around us, and in doing so we obey him.
1 Samuel 15:23; For rebellion as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you.
The last point we are going to look at today is, rebellion, standing up to the rule of God, standing against the kingdom of heaven and God's people. This puts one in the category of sinning.
Thus as we strive to do what is right in the sight of God and for the fellowship of man in Christianity, we ought to have the word in us lest the devil play on our minds and cause us to sin. Knowledge is power and for the lack of knowledge, we may perish. Thanks for reading, to be continued.
Indeed we should never justify sin. May God help us be righteous.
