From over 300 commandments, laws and ordinances of the Almighty, Jesus Christ has summed them up into only two commandments and linked both of them with love (Charity). Let see what the Bible say about sin and transgression:

• Sin takes root in “the fulfillment of the lusts of the flesh, for the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit lusts against the flesh”. (Gal. 5:16-17)
  
  
• Sin manifests in breaking one or multiple of God’s commandments and their by-products.

•   Sin’s major culprits are: “Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envy, Murders, Drunkenness, Reveling, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness, Murder, Debate, Deceit, Malignity”. (Gal. 5:19-21 & Rom. 1:29)

• Sin’s major characteristics are: “Whisperers, Backbiters, Haters of God, Despiteful, Proud, Boasters, Inventors of evil things, Disobedient to parents, without Understanding, Covenant Breakers, without Natural Affection, Implacable, Unmerciful; (Rom. 1:29-31) and much more in (1Cor.6:9-10)

•  Sin’s transgressors are: “…the law is not made for a righteous man, but the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayer, for whoremonger, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.” (1Tm.1:9-10)
  
  Sin is a sin, regardless of which commandment a person violates and breaks, and “the wages of sin are death; but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom.6:23)

• Every sin is committed “without the body except for fornication where one sins against his own body”. (1Cor.6:18)

• “The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law”. (1Cor. 15:56)
  
  
  

Armed with our chimera fancies of a Godless universe coupled with the theories of evolution, which claim no existence of God, we fancy ourselves of such news that allows us to glorify sin as a natural pursuit of personal happiness. 

We tend to overlook our limited and myopic vision, the maximum stretch of which is the tip of our noses, we self-convincingly reason that if we can sin, and surely we did and will, against the Creator and alter God’s commandments to serve our selfish purposes without suffering immediate repercussions, punishment or wrath; therefore, it is of no consequence if we break civil and moral laws that rule the lands, which were, by the way, inspired and fashioned after the word of God. 

We can learn from our Lord who admonished us to heed Sodom and Gomorrah ’s fates: ”They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.” (Luk. 17:27-29)

It is so easy to dismiss God from our life and to alienate oneself by repeatedly sinning. We hide behind Lifestyles, Genes, Fashions, Times, Progress, etc… and we embrace the philosophy and the attitude that nobody is “holier than yours truly” and nothing is sacred anymore. The progress of human accomplishments in all fields infused a dimensional mutiny in their hearts and led to believe that if they can do what God did, then no need for God. It is a cycle that Adam first fell in and like father like son we follow as dull-witted sheep.

From the beginning, and through the pages of the Bible, you see the fierceness of God’ wrath, God’s anger and God’s indignation with regard to “sin”, but God being full of love and compassion, forgave whoever repented and those who will repent their sins and iniquities.

Sin definitely brings sooner or later degrees of punishments, such as immediate physical and spiritual death, sanctions and sicknesses, wars, famines, calamities, “Acts of God” occurrences, national and international tragedies, gamut of bad “luck” encounters, be it temporary or permanent. Because of God’s promise of the coming of the Messiah and His promise to Noah, we ought to remember that David in his Psalm assured us that: “Many a time, (God) turned His anger away, and did not stir up All His wrath”. (78:38)

The same Psalm sums up the wrath of God with regard to Israel continued sinning: “Therefore, their days did He consume in vanity, and their years in trouble”. And according to the Word of God, may transcend from generation to generation.” (78:33)
