Sin – Romans 03:23

Is there anyone who has not sinned?

No, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

What if we say we have not sinned?

If we say we have not sinned, we deceive ourselves and make God a liar. Also, God’s Word, the truth, is not in us (1 John 1:8, 10; John 17:17).

What does knowing the truth do for us?

It shall set us free (John 8:32ff) from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2).

What happens if we confess our sins?

Christ Jesus will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

How do we get rid of our sins?

We must wash away our sins with the blood of Christ through baptism (Acts 22:16).

Should we continue to sin?

John reminded Christians that they were not to sin anymore (1 John 2:1), and Paul said we have died to sin and thus should no longer serve it (Romans 6:1-7, 11-14).

What happens if we sin?

Jesus Christ is our Advocate, if we sin (1 John 2:2). After all, He was tempted in all points as we are but without sin (Hebrews 4:15). We should have the same mind of Christ, for he who as suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin (1 Peter 4:1-2).

Whose sins are covered?

Christ died not only for our sins, but for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). John said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29)!”
