Sin, The Gift Of Salvation, And The Believer’s Responsibility
Sin can be described as a violation of God’s law in thought, word, or deed. The Bible explicitly mentions different kinds of sin. However, the first sin recorded in Scripture is the sin of disobedience by the first man, Adam. In Christian theology, this sin is known as the original sin because it was the first transgression, and all other sins can be considered offshoots of this initial act of rebellion.
Essentially, the effect of the original sin necessitated the need for a Saviour, as it introduced the sin nature, suffering, and eternal damnation to the human race. Graciously, Jesus was manifested in the fullness of time to address both the root and the effects of original sin.
Scripture provides ample evidence that no other sacrifice could fully satisfy God's justice except Jesus....
