Quote – Definition of Sin
E.A. Elam wrote, “No adequate definition of sin can be given; no complete description of it may be had. Sin is distinctively a Bible conception; the Bible alone sets forth the full meaning of sin. Sin is to be distinguished from crime, which is an offense against civil law; sin is to be differentiated from vice, which means an offense against social standards of behavior. Crime and vice are judged by human standards, while sin is behavior which incurs superhuman consequences. Sin is an offense against divine law, power, and wisdom. Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness (1 Jn.3:4). Sin is the violation of the will of God.”
