It is the transgression or crossing the line and missing the point of God's Law:

Galatians 3:19, NKJV

[ Purpose of the Law ] What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because oftransgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

Who reminds us of our sinfulness and our need to be redeemed?

We are reminded of our sinfulness by God's law and His ministers and prophets who preach it. If the law is taught properly and we are honest with ourselves, it is clear we fall far short of God's requirements and our only hope is in His mercy and grace. We are also reminded of our sinfulness by observing the world and the actions of others - our fallen state is obvious from the pain and suffering in this life and the evil we all commit. One of the specific roles mentioned by Jesus for the Holy Spirit is to 'convict the world of sin.'

Anti-transcendentalists believed in the inherent sinfulness and darkness of human nature, which can't be easily overcome by forgiveness. They viewed sin as a fundamental part of the human condition, so forgiveness was not seen as a sufficient or realistic solution to the moral complexities and consequences depicted in "The Scarlet Letter." Instead, they emphasized the inevitability of suffering and the harsh consequences of sin.

Did you know you are poor because you are a sinner and rich people are not sinners since they are rich so stop being a sinner and get you some money?

Nothing about your statement is true. Jesus' Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 3:23 and I quote, "All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God". Jesus himself was poor, as were most of his followers. The fact that you are rich or poor has no bearing whatsoever on your sinfulness. Poor people sin and so do rich people. The fact is that every human being that has ever been or ever will be born will sin. What you need to do is turn to Jesus for forgiveness of that sin and do all in your power to sin no more. And as Jesus himself said to the adulterous woman, "Neither do I condemn thee, Go and sin no more".


What if you died having never heard the gospel of salvation?

Romans 5:13 - For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. [NKJV]"Imputed" means "held against." If sin is not imputed when there is "no law," which would be the case of someone who has NOknowledge of, or is incapable of understandingwhat God requires of them, they will not be judged according to "sinfulness," but by a righteous standard which God alone determines (and the Bible does not disclose).Being aware of this truth should put peoples' minds at ease regarding the eternal welfare of infants, the mentally retarded, and those who have NEVER heard the gospel.
