Sin: What’s the Big Deal?

As Christians, we know that sin is bad, right? It’s wrong, it’s opposed to God, it ruins everything, and ultimately it is why Jesus had to die. But even with all that head-knowledge, it’s not uncommon to find ourselves in situations where we don’t take sin as seriously as we ought to. Perhaps we justify it, rationalize it, minimize it, or just straight-up ignore it. But the Bible is very clear just how dangerous destructive sin is; something to be taken very seriously. This week on the podcast Josiah and Andrew discuss some challenging verses on sin from 1 John 3, all with the goal of helping us avoid it and abide in Christ.
