Most people take sin far too casually, shrugging it off as merely something that everyone does, thus not being a "big deal." Yahweh sees it quite differently. "Sin" means "to miss the mark." In this case, it is missing the mark of holiness and righteousness, which Yahweh requires of us: "Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matt. 5:48); "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Pet. 1:16). Sin will condemn, destroy, and lead most people to eternal ruin (see the entire epistle of 1 John). Ergo, we must carefully read Yahweh's Word and study the meaning and results of sin. We must also realize that Jesus is the only answer to the disaster of sin because He provides us forgiveness and liberty! Here is a list of sins as found within the New Testament Scriptures:
