5. Outlines: 1.GENESIS AND DEFINITION OF SIN. 2.RESULTS OF AND FREEDOM FROM SIN

6. Outline 1: GENESIS AND DEFINITION OF SIN. Sin started with Satan – Isaiah 14:12-14. It then entered the world through Adam and Eve because they listened to the devil and thereafter disobeyed God. They doubted God’s love and His word and looked at what God had forbidden and ate it – Genesis 3:1-8 There are certain things called sin as stated in the following passages: - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Romans 1:29-31, 1 Timothy 1:9-11, Colossians 3:5-8.

7. Outline 2: RESULTS OF AND FREEDOM FROM SIN. Out of many results we will outline only three: 1.Death – Romans 6:23 2.Punishment – Matthew 25:46. The sinner will be separated from God and will be tormented forever. 3.Hell - Matthew 25:41 Nobody can hide his sin from God. Sin at all times will always be discovered – Jeremiah 2:22 – e.g. Adam, Cain, Ananias and Sapphira. The joy, however is that a sinner can be freed from sin. Jesus Christ with His powerful blood can wash clean - Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 1:7.

8. CONCLUSION Since no man’s sin can be hidden. It is only wise that for the sinner to be free there is need for him to be washed clean in the blood of Jesus - 1 John 1:7.
