Much of the disagreement about sin comes down to a lack of precision. People often talk past one another because they mean different things by the word
sin. In this discussion, we are not talking about involuntary human weakness or unavoidable imperfections. We are talking about
willful violations of God’s known law — whether that law is written in Scripture or impressed on the conscience.
The idea of living without sin immediately alarms many people. To them, it sounds like taking the crown off Christ — the only sinless person to walk the earth — and placing it on human heads. But before reacting, we need to ask a deeper question: does sin in the human soul honor Christ, or does it dishonor Him?
