We live in a changing world that is full of questions,

and the answers must come from the unchanging truth of God's Word.

Today we look into Scripture with Scott Paul to discover what the Bible says.

Ask the Lord to speak to you and to give you truth to share with others.

Whatever happened to sin, you know, many years ago, people used to talk about sin.

Preachers used to preach against sin.

People used to fear sin, but now there seems to be so little talk about it, and yet while we're talking about it less,

it seems that sin in our world and in many of our lives is growing.

It's getting bigger, left unchecked apart from God.

Let me give you one verse today as we begin our study of what the Bible says about sin.

Romans chapter 5 and verse number 12 says, 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

that's a powerful verse there's a lot of doctrine a lot of truth wrapped up in that one verse this is what the Bible says about sin

now we most recently talked about what the Bible says about man and

there's a natural progression here because man enters into the world and soon

on its heels sin enters into the world. Wherefore as by one man who is that one

man that's Adam by Adam sin entered into the world that means that the state of sin, fallen humanity, began in the garden.

We traced it all the way back to the very beginning.

Someone has said that woven through the Bible there are cords or threads that are consistent throughout.

One of those is the gold thread of God's promises. It's woven throughout, God's faithful.

One of them is the red thread, or the crimson thread of the blood of Jesus and blood

atonement, sacrifice for sin. Aren't you glad for the mercy of God that is faithful?
