I.               The Origin of Sin

II.             The Nature of Sin

III.           The Danger of Sin

IV.            The Defeat of Sin

 

In order to consistently defeat the sin that is in our life, we must first thoroughly understand the origin of sin, the nature of sin and the extreme danger of sin!

 

I.  The Origin of Sin

 

Two questions we will answer through Scripture:

ü         Where did sin come from?

ü         Why does God allow sin to exist? 

 

1.     God did not produce sin! 

Why we can claim this Biblical Truth …  

 

a.     Sin contradicts God’s design of us

·       Genesis 1:26-27

 

b.     Sin contradicts God’s purpose for us

·       Isaiah 43:7, Ephesians 1:11-12

 

 

 

 

Foundational Takeaway Truth #1:

God is not responsible for the sin that is in our life and in our world!
