Sin


Characteristics if sin

1

It brings about shameful reproach

Proverbs 14:34

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.

2

It is known by the law

Romans 3:20

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

Romans 7:7

What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

3

Sin is transgression

1 John 3:4

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

4

All unrighteousness is sin

1 John 5:17

All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

5

It is deceitful

Hebrews 3:13

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

6

Some men’s sins are open beforehand

1 Timothy 5:23-24

23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

24 The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them.

7

Some others are hidden, but not before God

1 Timothy 5:24

The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them.

Psalms 90:8

You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
