What is sin?

“If we boast that we have no sin, we’re only fooling ourselves and are strangers to the truth. But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time. God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we claim that we’re not guilty of sin when God uncovers it with his light, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.” 1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭TPT‬‬

If we are spending time in God’s word, having fellowship with other Christians and have a living relationship with our God His light will shine on our darkness and sin. The way forward is repentance. Repentance cleanses us from sin.

It is foolish to deny the existence of sin. Sin is the stuff we do in darkness, the wrong way we treat others, the wrong attitudes we take to God’s people. We cannot sit and be a critic and judge and expect we do not sin, when God alone is the judge.

If God’s word convicts us we must repent. Repentance clears the way for a powerful relationship with God and others.

I want powerful relations with God and others and therefore I will repent of all and any misdeed He shows me. Amen!
