What is Sin ? Is it a list of rules you're not supposed to break? I can recall years ago that certain denominations considered the following to be sin:

• Going to the movies.
• Dancing
• Women wearing make-up or pants. Always had to wear long dresses. I remember years ago, Elder DeBorrah was a guest speaker at a women's event at a local church in one of these denominations, when she addressed this subject.

I'll never forget how you could hear a pin drop when she stated, "Even a barn door knows when it needs paint".

Sin is an offense or immoral act, a transgression against divine law, and anything that contradicts God's desires for humanity. Ultimately, anything that separates us from God is considered sin.

Humanity inherited a "proclivity towards sin" from Adam and Eve's fall. Their "original sin" was disobeying God by eating from the forbidden tree. Their sin was not eating the fruit, but "disobedience" to God's word. They decided to do what God told them not to do. As a result, humanity became separated from God.

But God provided a way back, by sending his son Jesus Christ, to save us from the power of sin reigning in our lives. Jesus Christ came to restore humanity's connection to God. His sinless life, death, and resurrection redeemed believers.
