Sin is the product of disobedience in man. Man disobeyed God, thus sin entered the world. Is sin today around you? Yes, if you still belong to the earth.
When sin entered the Paradise, which God created to keep man and his wife in, He had to chase them out. Sin entered through man's act of disobedience, and God had to cast out man from His Paradise.
How sad! Even if you or I sin, God refuses to see us. He is of a clean, pure nature that He refuses to see sin. Did we sin?
Have you seen how heredity functions in man? If a father is stout and his son also being so, we call that heredity. Such is also sin. Sin, over the time being in human nature has increased so much that we often get question, "Is there a God?"
God is there, but he cannot be where sin is.
DO YOU SIN? DO YOU FEEL UNWORTHY OR ASHAMED?
Even you have stopped sinning, you may feel uncomfortable or guilty. This is because of a concept which I will introduce later. I believe, if you really want to come out of sin (come out of the discomfort and shame), I can help you.
Please understand that when you are honest with yourself, you can see the change soon. It depends on your spirit. If you are a born-again spirit, you will not feel guilty. If you have not accepted Christ, you will continue to feel sorry for an age-old sin of yours.
GOD DOES NOT WANT YOU TO BE LIKE THIS.

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Jesus gives us a hint or a clue to the concept of 'binding the strong man'. The human being being the house, then sin becomes the strong man. The strong man has the ability to hold fast to the things of the house, thereby rendering the inmates as well as the outmates ineffective in removing objects away from it.
Sin is the tool by which Satan uses to keep the free-ness in motion in one's life. You do not have to feel worried for your sin. Jesus has set you free. It is your part to do the necessary things to receive the finished-work. We can keep sin in control by prayer. For your prayer requests, do contact me at my e-mail ID.
Jesus advises people to pray for one another, for effective deliverance from sin. Let join hands to fight sin. Let us keep ourselves free from sin.
There are a lot of things in the topic of 'Sin'. I have just begun the process of writing these blog-articles. I may find it useful if I could receive comments, suggestions, etc.
Let me know if we can improve this blog by adding more features and please contribute on your side for the welfare of our community.
God gave man some commandments to follow, in order to please Him, and to stay happy. When one fails to keep the commandments, even one of them, sin enters them and defiles them. To defile is to make unclean or ugly. If the people around you are ugly and contaminated, then there is sin. Sin is that which makes things ugly. It is not dust or rubbish which alone makes things ugly, but there are many that also make a man dirty.
If sin makes a man dirty, then it must be cleansed. The way of cleansing is brought about by means of sacrifices and other rituals in the Old Testament, which contains the laws of the Jews. There had to be some kind of offering, to cleanse themselves from the sin which has come upon them.
The demands as per the law given by Moses, who God gave to teach people, was too difficult for the people to fulfill. The eagerly waited for a remedy, so that they would not have the burden of accomplishing their tasks by themselves. God had to intervene to accomplish this.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God wanted to save people from their sin, and to that without much burden. God wanted to help man and hence, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for their sins
