Sin Defined
Sin has been defined by some theologians as seperation from God, and by some as enmity with God.
The first definition shows that a SINNER has been SEPERATED from God while the second shows that a SINNER is having an ENMITY with God.
1 SEPERATION
Seperation shows that one has been distanced from God. So logically, if one sins it can be said that HE SEPERATED FROM GOD.
This logic is complete.
Take as an illustration, Adam and Eve, both were with God, but when they sinned, they hid from God: they SEPERATED from God.
Ge.3:7-10 | KJV
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 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.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
See that? Adam never SEPERATED from God until his HOLY BLINDNESS was destroyed by sin.
We shall examine this holy blindness someday.
Until Cain killed his brother, he never questioned God.
Until a man sins, he can be in good terms in heaven.
Atheism is not sin, it is a product of sin.
You cannot be an atheist until you feel you need to be your own god.
Atheism evolves around the divination of man.
Until man sees a kind of Independence and freedom to do, think or say as he likes without obeying God, he can't be atheistic.
Sin is SEPERATION.
Now let's talk about David.
He was a choir leader, a king, a man after God's heart until when? Until he sinned, until he committed adultery and then was SEPERATED from God:
He lied, he cheated, he had no joy of the holy Ghost then and went to the extreme of murdering an innocent soldier.
Friend, the moment you begin to sin, you will sin the more to protect your sin.
Example:
I stole, what must I do to protect stealing? I must lie; and what must protect that? I must bribe; and it goes on and on.
Do you know why?
Sin seperates and seperates till one is in Hell.
What is the cure? JESUS.
2 ENMITY
Ro.3:23 | KJV
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
If you sin, you fight against the GOD-PARTICLE of your nature which is His glory.
The GOD-PARTICLE is His glory, His spirit breathed in every human being.
