    Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 12, 2019
     | 3,276 views

    God describes sin with words like disobedience, lawlessness, iniquity, wickedness, trespass, transgression, and rebellion. The truth about sin is not only repulsive, but it is also personal. Sin is not other people’s problem. It is ours.
