What does sin é mean?

Answer 1

From the Hebrew word chat-ta'th or Greek ha-mar-ti'a, which literally mean to "miss," in the sense of missing or not reaching any goal, way, mark, or right point.

Therefore, sin is 'missing the mark' of perfection as defined and demonstrated by The Creator. Because of inherited imperfection, according to the Bible, all humans sin, both willfully and accidentally, and are thus deserving of death since God's standard of justice cannot be compromised. The consequences of sin for each individual human being can only be averted by a 'payment', or ransom, for what was originally lost, namely a perfect human life. Since no inherently sinful descendant of the first willful sinner Adam can pay that ransom, God provided the payment in the form of his Son. When Jesus gave up his perfect life, (like the one that Adam first 'sold' to willful disobedience and sin, which would then be passed on to all his descendants) he payed the ransom for the whole human family and allowed for God's standard of justice to be satisfied. Now any human, according to The Bible, that has faith in this ransom arrangement, and shows this faith by working in harmony with it's Giver and His requirements, can avail him or herself of the benefits of the provision. In effect, they can be free from sin, and therefore free from it's consequence: death.Answer:
