Growing in Grace / Lesson 02

Sin: Origin, Reality, & Consequences

Sin was not part of God's original creation — it entered humanity through Adam's disobedience and now affects every person who has ever lived. Scripture measures us not against each other but against God's perfect holiness, and the consequences of sin are real: separation from God, physical death, and eternal separation apart from His rescue.
