Sin is the most widely used bad word in the Bible, but it actually has a few different meanings. In its most basic form, sin simply means to miss the mark or fall short of a goal. In this video, we'll explore the concept of moral failure that underlies this important biblical word.
God has revealed himself to us in the glory of creation, in the perfection of the written word, and in the personal experience of all who seek him.

God reveals himself to us through the Bible
Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” God's Word, the Bible, is one way God reveals Himself to us. The Bible reveals God's love for us, His promises to us, His expectations and His desires for us.

One eternal or unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), also known as the sin unto death, is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels, including Mark 3:28–29, Matthew 12:31–32, and Luke 12:10, as well as other New Testament passages including Hebrews 6:4–6, Hebrews 10:26–31, and 1 John 5:16.
