ANSWER: “NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING”
aka “Not being righteous”
That is …
1. Not
doing the right thing by God’s ten commandments (Ex 20:1-17)
2. Not
doing the right thing by your own standards (James 4:17)

Ten
Commandments |
|
Number 1 |
I am the LORD thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Ex 20:2-3 |
|
Number 2 |
Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image Ex 20:4 |
|
Number 3 |
Thou shalt not take the name
of the LORD thy God in vain Ex 20:5 |
|
Number 4 |
Remember the sabbath
day, to keep it holy. Ex 20:8 |
|
Number 5 |
Honour thy
father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which
the LORD thy God giveth thee. Ex 20:12 |
|
Number 6 |
Thou shalt not kill.
Ex 20:13 |
|
Number 7 |
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Ex 20:14 |
|
Number 8 |
Thou shalt not steal
Ex 20:15 |
|
Number 9 |
Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbour. Ex 20:16 |
|
Number 10 |
Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor
his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any
thing that is thy neighbour's. Ex 20:17 |
Put it this way:
As it is written For whosoever shall keep
the whole law, and yet
offend in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10
For example
“Well, I have not killed anybody!” but have you wanted to in the mind?
That is a
failure on Number 6.
Maybe you
haven’t killed anybody (even in your mind) and that would mean you get
100% on
this commandment.
However,
when it comes to adultery, although you haven’t done the actual deed,
you have
thought about it. Maybe this gives you a 90% pass rate in your eyes …
but in
God’s eyes you get zero.
This still
means you are going to the literal fires of hell – you have failed to
get 100%
on not committing adultery.

This definition of sin is also known
as …
Violating your own
conscience/letting
yourself down/not doing your best/letting your team mates down/having
to turn
over a new leaf/get your life straightened out/knowing right from
wrong/”I’m
not as bad as some”/making New Year’s resolutions/knowing the right
thing to do
but not doing it … and so on.
The scriptures say
Therefore
to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it
is sin.
James 4:17
The world soft peddles the word “sin”
with the phrases “You’ve let yourself down” or “You’ve let others down”
or
“You’re not perfect … who is?” and so on.
You have
been given the INTERNAL definition of sin from your own
conscience.
Everyone
knows right from wrong … because there are no excuses.
