What is sin?

“What is sin?
The glory of God not honored.
The holiness of God not reverenced.
The greatness of God not admired.
The power of God not praised.
The truth of God not sought.
The wisdom of God not esteemed.
The beauty of God not treasured.
The goodness of God not savored.
The faithfulness of God not trusted.
The commandments of God not obeyed.
The justice of God not respected.
The wrath of God not feared.
The grace of God not cherished.
The presence of God not prized.
The person of God not loved.
THAT is sin.”

– Dr. John Piper

One thought on “What is sin?

  1. very well written words i am glad i read this. interestingly enough my opinion about sin is something like this. sin is defined by the religion you believe in, recently i’ve studied about many religions including Buddhism. but when you look at them you can clearly see there a big difference of how they define a sin. and what a sinful action is. whatsoever i personally liked this article and the idea of making sin an explanation from the biological point of view.
