What is sin?
In short
Sin is anything that falls short of God's goodness, the ways we turn from Him and harm ourselves and others. The Bible teaches that everyone has sinned, and that sin separates us from God.
Sin is not merely breaking rules; it is a broken relationship. And the good news is that God, in love, moves to heal it through Jesus.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23 · King James Version (public domain)
