As you read SIN, you should wrestle with the following questions:
- What is sin?
- What do I need to know and understand about sin?
- What should I do when I think someone else is sinning?
At the end of your study of sins and the relationship of sin to Christianity you should be able to say, “In a comparison of what everyone else believes about sin and my responsibility with the concept of sin, I am responsible for me.”
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
