At what point do you think a bad choice should be considered a sin?
What kinds of things do you think should be included in the definition of a sin?
“Who ever commits sin breaks also the law: for sin is the breaking of the law” (1 John
3:4).
According to God, we can sin in many ways such as…
— Doing things that we know are wrong.
— Not doing things that we know we should do.
— Dwelling on bad thoughts in our mind. (If you are so angry with your boss that you think
about ways to take revenge, this is a sin. When a man sees a woman he may have a
instant feeling toward her. This is not a sin in itself. It is when he chooses to dwell or
think about the woman in an inappropriate way that it becomes sin.)
— Breaking the laws of man and God, even if we haven't yet heard of that law.
