The Evidence of what is called SIN

• Humans are sinful. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

Although we were created to have fellowship with God, because of our stubborn self-will, we choose to go our own independent  way and fellowship with God has been broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin. 

• Humans are separated. "The wages of sin is death" {spiritual separation from God} (Romans 6:23). 

".... (Those) who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus... will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord..." (2 Thessalonian 1:8,9).

This sin, which is manifested in each of our individual lives, separates us from God's love and from an intimate relationship with Him. Such separation brings both earthly turmoil and eternal consequences.
