Topical Encyclopedia

The term "sinneth" is an archaic English form of the verb "sin," used primarily in older translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version. In the Berean Standard Bible , the term is rendered in more contemporary language, often as "sins" or "commits sin." The concept of sin is central to Christian theology, representing any action, thought, or behavior that transgresses God's law and moral order.

Biblical Context

In the Bible, sin is first introduced in the narrative of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). Their disobedience to God's command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil marks the entry of sin into the human experience. This original sin is seen as the root of humanity's fallen state, necessitating redemption through Jesus Christ.

Key Verses

1. 1 John 3:4 : "Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness." This verse highlights the nature of sin as a violation of God's law, emphasizing its inherent disorder and rebellion against divine authority.

2. Romans 3:23 : "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This passage underscores the universality of sin, affirming that every human being is in need of God's grace and redemption.

3. James 1:15 : "Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." Here, the progression from temptation to sin and ultimately to spiritual death is outlined, illustrating the destructive power of sin.

Theological Significance

In Christian theology, sin is not merely a list of prohibited actions but a condition of the heart that separates humanity from God. It is both an act and a state, affecting individuals and communities. The doctrine of original sin, as articulated by theologians like Augustine, posits that all humans inherit a sinful nature due to the fall of Adam and Eve.

The remedy for sin is found in the atoning work of Jesus Christ. According to Christian belief, Jesus' death and resurrection provide the means for forgiveness and reconciliation with God. This is encapsulated in verses such as 1 John 1:9 : "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Practical Implications

For believers, the recognition of sin and the need for repentance are foundational to the Christian life. The process of sanctification involves turning away from sin and growing in holiness through the power of the Holy Spirit. Christians are called to live in a manner that reflects their redeemed status, striving to align their lives with the teachings of Scripture.

The concept of sin also informs Christian ethics and morality, guiding believers in their interactions with others and their stewardship of creation. The awareness of sin's pervasive influence encourages vigilance and reliance on God's grace to overcome temptation and live righteously.
