SIN NO LONGER Sid

I One of the most alarming developments J of recent years is the waning consciousf ness of sin. A noted Protestant clergyman I made the statement some time ago that I the Biblical doctrine of sin is no longer ' being preached from 90 per cent of I American pulpits. Perhaps that explains the title of a I recent tourist's guide: "Where to Sin in « San Francisco.” Under sinning this book- • let listed the better hotels, restaurants, J and reputable places of entertainment in | the Golden Gate Gty. Going places and doing things seems [ to be the American conception of sin. Small wonder that millions are no longer

struck with terror by the implications of the ugly little word. Over against this watering down of the meaning of sin, the Bible insists that sin is every transgression of the Law of God, that it is hideous in its very nature, and damning in its consequences. It insists: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” The entire Christian Gospel is predicated upon the terrible* nets and damnableness of sin. It was to atone for tin (greed, selfishness, pride, lust) that the Son of God came down from heaven. It was sin that made Good Friday necessary. When Christ died on the Cross, He died to rescue human souls from hell —a hell which they had earned by their transgressions of God’s law. It is those transgressions that the Bible calls tin. To the sin-laden people of our day the Christian Church still proclaims the Gospel invitation: "Behold die Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” — your sin!
