🎯 Sin isn’t just failure, it’s falling short of God’s perfect standard. Jesus came to close the gap.
In this message, we take a deeper look at the true meaning of sin and the hope found through Christ. Using Romans 6:23, 1 John 3:4–6, and Romans 10:9–10, this sermon breaks down what it means to “miss the mark” and how Jesus restores what sin separates.
In this sermon, we talk about:
•The meaning of sin from the Greek word hamartia, an archery term meaning to miss the target
•How the true mark is God’s perfect holiness and glory
•Why sin and lawlessness are tied to rebellion against God
•How humans tend to rank sin differently, while God sees sin as falling short of His standard
•The difference between living as a sinner and living as someone redeemed by Christ
•How Jesus took the label of sinner upon Himself at the cross, offering new identity and life through Him
This message reminds us that while we may still fall short, salvation through Jesus offers forgiveness, transformation, and a restored relationship with God.
