2 Bible Verses About Sin Against God
And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
Deuteronomy 29:17KJV
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
Joshua 7:20KJV
Reflecting upon these divine pronouncements, we apprehend sin not merely as transgression of statute, but as a profound rupture in the order God willed for creation and for the soul. It is the creature turning from its Source, the intellect clouding its apprehension of the Eternal Truth, the will perverting its pursuit of the ultimate Good. This defection, an offense against absolute Holiness, reveals our inherent fragility and the desperate need for grace. The gravity of this alienation underscores the immense mercy required for reconciliation, a mercy made manifest in the divine intervention these verses implicitly or explicitly foreshadow. Let this contemplation move us to a deeper understanding of the chasm sin creates, and the urgent call to return to Him in whom alone is light and life.
