What Is Sin?

The Bible says that everyone is sinful:

Everyone has sinned. Nobody is good enough because God’s standards are perfect. (Romans 3:23)

We may say that we have no sin. If we say this, we lie to ourselves. There is no truth in us. (1 John 1:8)

We had all wandered like sheep. We had chosen to go our own way, not God’s way. We deserved punishment. But God has given the punishment to his Servant to suffer. (Isaiah 53:6)
