What is the definition of sin?"

Answer: Sin is described in the Bible as transgression of God's law ( 1 John 3: 4 ) and rebellion against God ( Deuteronomy 9: 7 ; Joshua 1:18 ).

Sin had its beginning with Lucifer, the "Lucifer, son of the morning", the most beautiful and powerful of the angels. Not content to be all this, he wanted to be like the most high God, and that was his downfall and the beginning of sin ( Isaiah 14: 12-15 ).


Changed its name to Satan, he brought sin to the human race in the Garden of Eden, where he tempted Adam and Eve with the same enticement - "... will be like God ..." Genesis 3 describes their rebellion against God and against His commandments.

From that time, sin has passed through all the generations of the human race, and we as descendants of Adam, we inherited sin from him. Romans 5:12 tells us that through Adam, sin entered the world, so death spread to all men because "the wages of sin is death ..." ( Romans 6:23 ).

Through Adam, inherited inclination to sin entered the human race and human beings became sinners by nature. When Adam sinned, his inner nature was transformed by his sin of rebellion, acarreándole spiritual death and depravity which would happen to those who were after him.

Humans became sinners not because they have sinned; they sinned because they were sinners.

This is the condition known as inheritance of sin. Just as we inherit physical characteristics from our parents, so we inherit our sinful nature from Adam.

King David lamented this condition of fallen human nature in the S almo 51: 5"Behold, in iniquity I have been formed, and in sin did my mother conceive me."

Another type of sin is known as imputed sin.

Used in both financial matters and legal, the Greek word translated as - imputation - means taking something that belongs to someone and credit it to another's account. Before I was given the Law of Moses, sin was not imputed to man, yet still men were sinners because they inherited sin.

After the law was given, sins committed in violation of the Law were imputed (credited) to them ( Romans 5:13 ). Even before transgressions of the law were imputed to men, the wages of sin (death) continued to reign ( Romans 5:14 ).

All humans, from Adam to Moses, were subject to death, not because of their sinful acts against the Mosaic Law (which had not yet), but by their own inherited sinful nature.

After Moses, humans were subject to death both because of inherited sin of Adam, as imputed sin for violating the laws of God.

God used the principle of imputation to benefit mankind when He imputed the sin of believers to the account of Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for sin (death) on the cross.

Imputing our sin to Jesus, God treated him as if he were a sinner, though he never was, and he did die for the sins of all those who believe in Him.

It is important to understand that sin was imputed to Him, but He did not inherit Adam. He suffered the penalty for sin, but he was never a sinner. His pure and perfect nature was untouched by sin.

He was treated as if he had been guilty of all the sins that have been committed by all who would believe, even though he did not commit any.

Instead, God imputed righteousness of Christ to believers and credited our accounts His righteousness, the same as He credited our sins to Christ's account ( 2 Corinthians 5:21 ).

Personal sin is that which is committed every day by humans.

Having inherited the sinful nature of Adam, we commit individual, personal sins - all of them, from the seemingly innocent lie, even murder.

Those who have not placed their faith in Jesus Christ must pay the penalty for these personal sins, as well as imputed sin inheritance.
However, believers have been freed from the eternal damnation of sin (hell and spiritual death).

Now we can choose whether or not to commit personal sins because we have the power to resist sin through the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, sanctifying us and giving us the conviction of our sins when we make them ( Romans 8: 9-11 ).

Once we confess our personal sins to God and ask forgiveness for them, we are restored to perfect fellowship and communion with Him. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" ( 1 John 1: 9 ).

Inherited sin, imputed sin, and personal sin
- all have been crucified on the cross of Jesus, "In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace" ( Ephesians 1: 7 ).

¡Estás rodeado!

Tu protección me envuelve por completo; me cubres con la palma de tu mano. (Salmo 139:5) Porque tú, Señor, bendices a los justos; cual escudo los rodeas con tu buena voluntad. (Salmo 5:12) Es común escuchar esa frase en las películas de acción durante los enfrentamientos y persecuciones policíacas.  David también vivió varias situaciones peligrosas, sitiado y teniendo que luchar o huir de enemigos mortales.  Pero, contrario a lo que vemos en esos escenarios de amenaza, peligro y tensión, la Biblia nos habla de un cerco diferente: Dios rodea con bondad y protección a los que confían. En estos salmos David declara que Dios es el escudo que rodea a sus justos. A pesar de todo el riesgo y la aflicción que puedan enfrentar, la presencia del Señor mantiene el corazón en paz y seguridad.  Así también nosotros podemos confiar que Dios nos rodea por todos los lados.

Valoriza las pequeñas cosas

Pero ustedes, ¡manténganse firmes y no bajen la guardia, porque sus obras serán recompensadas! (2 Crónicas 15:7) Muchas veces dejamos de avanzar porque nos da la sensación de que no progresamos. Ignoramos ciertas cosas y solo les damos valor cuando las perdemos. Por eso, es importante que valoricemos los pequeños avances, que continuemos trabajando y creyendo en la Palabra de Dios. Con Dios, lo poco llega a ser mucho. No te quedes desanimado, fortalécete en Dios. Cuando no valorizamos lo poco dejamos de alcanzar grandes bendiciones. Quien es fiel en lo poco, también será fiel en lo mucho (Lucas 16:10). Piensa en eso. No tardarás en ver la recompensa de tu fe. 🤲 ¡Un momento!
