Introduction
In this Lesson we are going to see the Doctrine of Sin.
Scripture utters no uncertain sound on the world-embracing character of moral corruption, in the prediluvian age (Genesis 6:12), in Davids generation (Psalm 14:3), in Isaiahs time (Isaiah 53:6), and in the Christian era (Romans 3:23). Solomons verdict holds good, There is no man that sinneth not (I Kings 8:46). There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not (Ecclesiastes 7:20). If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (I John 1:8). For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

eousness (I John 1:9). Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God (R omans 3:19). For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10). There is a great gulf between modern mentality and biblical revelation when it comes to the subject of guilt. the Lord Jesus Christ is able to free us from enslaving sin. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36). Another consequence of sin is guilt of death. In the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die (Genesis 2:17). The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4). Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Romans 5:12). For the wages of sin is death . . . (Romans 6:23). For sin, taking occasion by the co mmandment, deceived me, and by it slew me (Romans 7:11). Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death (James 1:15). The guilty sinner cannot escape the Divine sentence, As it is appointed unto men once to die . . . (Hebrews 9:27).
