Sin is any transgression of or lack of conformity to God’s law. It is terrible, because it is rebellion against the highest authority and because it is a betrayal of the greatest love we can imagine. Sin destroys everything good in our lives and in the world. My motivation not to sin is that God’s Spirit has given me a new heart that understands this and desires to love him as he has loved me.
