What Is Sin in the Bible? (And Why Grace Changes Everything)

Have you considered what sin really is? It’s not some condemning word to make us feel guilty for not being perfect. It can actually be a word to use to anchor us in God’s truth and help us to identify the deception around us. In this episode of the Firing Up Faith and Family podcast, hosts Christine and Stephanie delve into the complex topic of sin from a Christian perspective. We explore the definition of sin, its origins, and its effects on our relationship with God and others. The Greek word translated as “sin” in the New Testament means “to miss the mark” — it’s not just about breaking rules; it’s about falling short of the intended design for righteousness. Learn to recognize the subtlety of sin in your lives and how to rely on God’s Grace to move away from that which takes you away from God.
