Q24: What is sin?
A24: Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, any law of God, given as a rule to the reasonable creature.[1]
-
- (1Jn 3:4) Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
- (Gal 3:10, 12) For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM." . . . However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."
