And lawlessness is sin . There is no trouble on the earth or in the universe that is not, directly or indirectly, the result of sin. Death, both physical and spiritual, is the result of sin. If there were no sin, there would be no death. There are approximately 750,000 words in the English language, and the worst word in our language, and all other languages, is the word sin.
Sin is a terrible thing.
It is that abominable thing which God hates. Sin is so bad that, if let alone, it would wreck the entire universe. We human beings are so familiar with sin we think but little about it. God alone knows how bad sin is. It is so bad that God was compelled to do something about it, and He has done something about it.
