Most People think they know what sin is but don’t fully understand what sin is and why we must repent from it. Sin is what separates us from God the Father. Genesis 3:18 says: And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. See God use to walk with Adam and Eve in the Garden, but after sin took place (sin of disobedience), they no longer could walk with God. As the story in the Bible tells us that they were kicked out of the Garden after they took of the fruit that God told them not to eat. Genesis 3:24-So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Romans 5:12 says-Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Sin is the reason we can not live forever. Sin brought on destruction of the body, therefore all men will have to die.

So what is sin? The Bible says in James 4:17-Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. This means that if you know you are not suppose to steal, cheat, lie, kill, and you do it anyway, it is sin! Which we all know these are sins, but some do these anyway. There are other sins that people do that the Bible tells us not to do. Then there are things the Bible says that we need to do, but we don’t do or neglect to do. These are part of serving and helping others.

The Bible tells us to give to others; whether that is food they need or money, it is commanded that we do this. Matthew 5:42-Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. God tells us to give to others but he also rewards us for doing so. Luke 6:38 says- Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

So after sin came unto the world, all men must one day die, but the Bible tells us that we can be resurrected unto Jesus Christ if we believe and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. 1 Corinthians 5:21-22-For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Heaven doesn’t have corruption or sin, therefore we must one day die, unless we live for the rapture of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 says-Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 

Other scriptures: Romans 6:12-Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Romans 6:14-For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:22-But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Romans 5:15-But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one (Adam) many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
