On idea is that sin is just selfishness. Sin is often selfish, but it does not cover the whole problem for man sometimes sins against himself. The Bible teaches that sin is any lack of conformity to the character of God. Different sins are defined in the Bible as, for instance in the Ten Commandments. Sin is sin because it is different from what God iS and God is eternally holy. A person who sins is unlike God and subject to God's judgment. Personal sin includes everything in the daily life which is against or fails to conform to the character of God, Romans 3:23. The essential idea is that man comes short acid fails to attain to the standard of God's own character of holiness. • Man bas also a sinful nature. Ephesians 2:3. Every child of Adam is born with the Adamic nature and is ever and always prone to sin. Though this nature wa judged on the cross, Romans 6:10, it continues to be an active force in every Christian's life. The Bible does not say that the Adam nature is removed or eradicated, but God gives the Christian the power to overcome it through the indwelling spirit. Romans 8:4.
