WHY ARE WE CONTENTIOUSLY FALLING IN THE SIN OR PASSING THE VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW? I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU , I SOMETIMES FIND MYSELF FALLING IN SIN OR BREAKING VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW. I DONT WANT TO DO IT, BUT I FOUND MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ANYWAY. THAT SHOW HOW WEAK I AM WITHOUT JESUS. I KNOW WHO I AM , BUT I AM STANDING BY HIS MERCY! What is the difference between a sin and a transgression? To sin is to do something contrary to the will of the Lord. It is to be wilfully disobedient. Transgression, on the other hand, is the violation of a law or rule that may or may not be against the will of the Lord. Thus, all sins are transgressions but not all transgressions are sins. Sin is breaking a law with knowledge that a law is being broken. Adam didn’t have knowledge of good and evil before partaking of the forbidden fruit, so his act was a transgression of the law, not a sin against the law. The Bible clearly notes a difference between sin and transgression - Psalms 25:7 -> “Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.” - Joshua 24:19 -> “And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the Lord: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.” The first mention of sin in the Bible is in regards to Cain. Genesis 4:6-7 -> “And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shall thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lithe at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shall rule over him.” Adam and Eve’s partaking of the forbidden fruit is referred to as transgression. Romans 5:14 -> “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.” NEXT TIME ASK YOURSELVES BEFORE YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING, IS THIS SIN OR TRANSGRESSION THAT I AM ABOUT TO DO ? OUR CONCIOUS TELL US. LET GOD GIVE US A POWER TO WIN OUR FLESH
