Summary

The Christian's relationship with sin in this life can be confusing. This workshop seeks to clarify the biblical understanding of sin in order to have a biblical response. Scripture teaches that we are free from sin's power to condemn, define, blind, or enslave us. Still, we are not free from the battle of indwelling sin, something that God allows for several purposes. As we form a biblical perspective in this area, we can form habits of confessing and repenting of our own sin, as well as showing compassion to other sinners.

Outline

The believer's struggle with their own sin and the sin of others can be confusing. The New Testament teaches we are dead to sin. Yet, Paul claims he can't do the good he wants to do because of the law of sin within him. Believers respond to this battle in several wrong ways: denial, defeat, excusing, or blaming others. What level of freedom from sin can we expect in this life? What will we have to wait for until Christ's return?
