In Christian views, it is an evil act, which violates the law of love. According to the classical definition of Augustine of Hippo, “sin is a word, deed or desire in opposition to the eternal law of GOD.”
Sin is an act of offence against GOD by despising His persons and Christian Biblical law, and by injuring others. A loss of love for the Christian GOD and an elevation of self-love.
1st John 3:4 declares that “whoever commits sin is lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.”
All unrighteousness is sin. (1st John 5:17) all iniquity is sin. In the eyes of GOD, the seven things He hates is considered sin. For example, “A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to do evil,
A false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.” (Proverbs 6:16-19) discord means strife, conflict, friction, and hostility. Please pray for deliverance.
Sin is the violation of that law of love, and GOD showed us a way to live in peace and harmony with Him and with mankind. But, when we sin, we transgress that boundary and break GOD’s law.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” (1st John 5:3) “And you shall also love The LORD your GOD.” (Deuteronomy 30:16) also “love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39)
Praise The LORD!
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.” (Matthew 5:21-22).
It is a sin to call individuals fool, so please ask The LORD for deliverance because you will be in danger of hell fire.
Please let us pray for love and peace on earth.
Amen!
