Sin isn't a failure to respond to God's call... it's "a failure to OBEY HIS COMMANDS."
"...for sin is the transgression of the law." (I John 3:4 KJV)
New Living Translation [NLT]: "...for all sin opposes the Law of God."
Weymouth's New Testament [WEY]: "...for sin is the violation of the Law."
William's New Testament [WNT]: "...sin is lawlessness."
Breaking God's Ten Commandments is what sin is.
Mankind has a tendency to think of God as "his own." But The Bible reveals that "God is a King" who owns the entire universe. God says... [to those who are His], "You are My friends IF YOU OBEY ME. I no longer call you SERVANTS, because a MASTER doesn't confide in His servants. Now YOU ARE MY FRIENDS, since I have told you everything the Father told Me." (John 15:14-15 NLT New Living Translation)
Some may call this a trivial matter of semantics... but it can also be seen as a "watering down" of the true meaning of sin. With man, sin isn't so bad... it's just "being naughty." With many, there is no such thing as sin. But with God, the King... "sin is the transgression of His Law." It's direct, stubborn, undisciplined, rebellious disobedience to His Commands -- and it's worthy of DEATH.
So, sin isn't just a mere "failure to respond to God's call"... it's a direct, treasonous act of rebellion against His Government, the Kingdom of God.
