sin
perversion of God's good creation, breaking God's law. Sin causes a broken relationship with God. Sin is not a part of our original human nature. God created the first people with the ability to choose whether or not to trust and obey God.
All people now are born with a sinful nature that holds them in slavery. This leads to all kinds of law-breaking.
God sent Jesus to defeat the power of sin and remove its punishment.
When God's people confess their sins, God will forgive them.
In the future, God will take away all the results of sin from his creation.
