Many today have an improper concept of what sin really is.
Just as long as I don't do anything God says not do, I'm all right. These passages defined sin both positively and negatively. It will be the latter for which many who claim to be Christians will give answer in the day of judgment. It is an improper concept regarding sin that will lull an individual into a sense of false security. It leads one to think that he is good simply because he doesn't do what is bad.
