Why we need both repentance and faithJust as an electric circuit needs two wires to make contact for the light to come on, salvation requires both repentance and faith working together.
Sin as transgression of the lawThe first definition of sin found in scripture is going against God's command by doing something He told us not to do.
Sin as failing to do the right thingThe opposite definition of sin is knowing the right thing to do and choosing not to do it.
The ultimate definition of sinThe most complete definition of sin is coming short of the glory of God, which is exemplified by the life of Jesus Christ.Romans 3:23John 1:14
Anything done outside of fellowship with Christ is sinA person serious about their Christian life adopts the attitude that they will not do anything they cannot do in fellowship with Jesus.
The cobbler's story of uprightnessA poor shoe repairer used the best materials because he cared more about what the Lord would say at the judgment seat than making extra money.
Giving an account for every wordEvery careless word and action will be brought up on the day of judgment, which should make believers extremely careful.Matthew 12:37
Taking the scriptures seriouslyBelievers have no excuse for remaining defeated or deceived when they have the Bible in their hands and can read it for themselves.
