The consequence of sin
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes4,151 views
Sin has consequences according to religious texts. It causes death by turning people away from love and God. Sin destroys people from within because without love they cannot live. The wages of sin is death but God offers eternal life. The Old Testament viewed sin as missing God's intentions, being depraved in character, and rebelling against relationships. Committing sin kills the soul by making people lose sight of God. Sin can spiral out of control, make people feel unwell by stirring negative emotions, and become addictive by destroying personal relationships. Losing the sense of sin hardens the conscience.
![Death: The Consequence of Sin
21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the
things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in
death! 22 But now that you have been set free from
sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you
reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal
life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord. –Rom. 6: 21- 23](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/theconsequenceofsin-190218055323/85/The-consequence-of-sin-4-320.jpg)
The consequence of sin

- 2. Death: The Consequence of Sin • Sin is an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law. – St. Augustine
- 3. Death: The Consequence of Sin • Since God is love, we are born in, with, and for love. When we turn away from God, we turn away from love; thus, we turn away from pour whole being. Eventually, we destroy ourselves because we cannot live where there is no love. Thus, we experience death when we sin for this is its result or consequence.

- 5. Old Testament Notions of Sin 1. Missing the Mark 2. Depravity and Perversity 3. Rebellion and Transgression
- 6. Missing the Mark This happens when one loses his focus on God and his covenant with Him by offending others and failing to meet his covenant obligations with God- that He shall be our God and we shall be His people.
- 7. Depravity and Perversity This refers to the defect of character or disorder that weighs the sinner down. In Christian Theology, it is the innate corruptness of human nature, due to original sin.
- 8. Depravity and Perversity Pravitas- crooked or perverse Perversity is showing a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable, often in spite of the consequences. (sy.- stubbornness)
- 9. Rebellion and Transgression We picture sin here as a conscious choice which destroys positive relationships or convention.

- 11. Three Dimensions of Sin 1. Spiral dimension 2. Sickness 3. Addiction
- 12. Spiral dimension Enslaves us in a contagious habit of vice that acts like a virus, infecting social attitudes and structures such as family, social groups, etc.
- 13. Sickness It creates scenarios that would stir up hateful negative emotions that would change our attitude toward that of unforgiveness. This would eventually cause us to feel ill.
- 14. Addiction This is a process over which we become powerless as it becomes progressively more compulsive and obsessive leading us to patterns of ever deeper deception of self and others, ending in the inevitable disintegration of all our major personal and social relationships.
- 15. Loss of “sense of sin” “Perhaps the greatest sin in the world today is that men have begun to lose the sense of sin.”- Pope Pius XII The more we sin, the more we lose our sense of sin and our conscience hardens.
