SIN simply means "Satan's​ Identification Number".

Please run away from it!

Did you know that there are 3Eras in the Bible?

The Bible gives 3different definition of sin, and each functioned for each Era.

Without properly understanding these 3Eras and the operations under them, the topic of SIN and many other Bible topic will appear confusing and contradictory to you.

THE 3-ERAS IN THE BIBLE.

i. Before the LAW: during this Era, sin was determined by MORALITY. James 4:17 captures the definition of SIN in this Era.

"refusing to do what one knows is good to do".

ii. Under the LAW: the Law came and sin was no longer determined by MORALITY(individual/societal conviction). It was strictly determined by the LAW. 1John 3:4 captures the definition of sin during this Era.

"for the transgression of the LAW is sin"

iii. Under Grace: Jesus brought Grace John 1:17. And the LAW ENDED.

The Manner of life under Grace is by faith(which works by LOVE) from the start to the finish. Hebrews 11:6.

Romans 14:23b and Galatians 5:6 captures the definition of SIN during this Era.

..to be continued

CONTINUATION.

Romans 14:23b "for whatsoever is not of faith is SIN"

Galatians 5:6 "for in Christ, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith which works by LOVE"

During Under Grace Era, SIN is therefore defined as

"whatsoever is not of faith which works by LOVE".


WHICH OF THE DEFINITIONs PERTAINs TO US?


The 1st Era lasted from the fall of man till when Moses brought the LAW.

The 2nd Era lasted from Moses till when Jesus resurrected.

Jesus' Resurrection marked the beginning of the 3rd Era, which is still on till date.

Romans 1:17 "for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH"
