Sermon Points

WHAT IS “SIN”? Our English word “sin” is a translation of the Greek word: “hamartia”, which means “missing the mark” or “off the mark” or “wander off the path of uprightness and honour”

“Sin” or “missing the mark” is not a personality trait, character trait, or identity

“Sin” can be “easily corrected in the mind” (ACIM)
