Showing results for "Sin" in Religion & Spirituality

As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered equal in God's eyes. Yet while evangelicals continue to decry the Big Ones--such as abortion, adultery, and violence--we often overlook more deceptive sins. It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.

Despite our best efforts, many of us struggle with the same sins time and again, leaving us feeling hopeless in our searches for freedom.

By focusing on Jesus' work instead of on the intimidating aspects of evil spirits, Lozano will help you discover freedom from sin, understand the biblical model of deliverance, stay free from sin, and guide others to freedom.

what the bible says about sin

Every good story has a conflict, and our conflict enters the story here: Sin. In our class we define sin, not as an action that we commit, but as a condition we are in: “Sin is a condition of alienation and separation from God, that manifests itself in outward, sinful action.” And that condition has several inevitable consequences. We explore the nature of sin in this lecture.

In The Mortification of Sin, Owen states not only that sin remains an active and negative force on the lives of Christians, but also that there is a highly effective way to combat that evil force and temptation along with it. Largely addressing Romans 8, this work extracts understanding and brings clarity to the listener on these widely discussed topics. Despite such a potentially disheartening revelation of the impact and influence of sin, Owen reminds the listener of the triumph of Christ.

Christians need to fight both big, obvious sins and commonplace, familiar sins which can sneak in and become the hardest to kill of all.

17th century Puritan Richard Baxter explains that fully understanding sin is as impossible as fully understanding God. So how can we develop a shield against sin and learn to hate it? Baxter lists the many glories as experiences by true Christians; God’s love and mercy, Christ’s sacrifice, an eternal soul which in itself is pure, to then explain that sin is that which robs us from these glories and clutters our soul with misguided notions.

The Desert Fathers - Christian monks in the ancient Egyptian and Palestinian wilderness - strove to understand the causes and remedies of human sin and were the first to categorize temptations under the headings of the "deadly sins".

In this book, Dr. Kevin Vost unpacks the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, history's greatest theologian, in an engaging and accessible way.

This first new translation of Kierkegaard's masterwork in a generation brings an essential work of modern philosophy to vivid life. While the majority of Kierkegaard's work leading up to The Concept of Anxiety dealt with the intersection of faith and knowledge, here the renowned Danish philosopher turns to the perennial question of sin and guilt. First published in 1844, this concise treatise identified - long before Freud - anxiety as a deep-seated human state, one that embodies the endless struggle with our own spiritual identities.
