[Humble oluchi God’s power]

Good day chibuike, haven’t studied your post, please permit me to make more explanation on your first point, Sin.
When we talk about the word (SIN).),here are some definitions that comes to my mind:
1. Missing the mark: Sin is often described as missing the target or standard set by God (Romans 3:23).
2. Sin can also be seen as rebellion against God: Sin is seen as a rebellion against God’s authority, laws, and commandments .
3. Sin is also separation from God: Sin creates a barrier between humanity and God, leading to spiritual death and separation from Him .
4. Sin can also be any thought, word, or deed that falls short of God’s perfect standard: This includes not only overtly sinful actions but also attitudes, motivations, and desires that are contrary to God’s character .
5. A failure to love God and others as we should is also sin : Sin involves a failure to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves .
6. Sin is also corruption from God’s original design: Sin corrupts God’s original design for humanity, leading to a distortion of our relationships with God, others, and the world around us.
• Some of the consequences of sin include:
Spiritual death, guilt and shame,broken relationships, physical consequences.
