The Two Sources of Sin

Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place. (Daniel 9:24)
Can you picture living in the new world of righteousness in which there is no sin?
Did you know that it is in God’s mind to put an end to sin? In fact, the purpose of creating the Kingdom of God is to put an end to sin and to bring in everlasting righteousness.
What is sin? Sin is rebellion against God’s will. It is behavior that does not agree with God’s moral image.
There are three aspects of sin: the guilt of sin; the desire to sin; the practice of sin.
It appears to me that Christian teaching is occupied primarily with the guilt of sin. “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” is interpreted as meaning “takes away the guilt of the sin of the world.”
This is not surprising in that the Gospel is presented in the New Testament as being for the purpose of removing the guilt of our sin. There are passages that deal with the craving and practice of sin, particularly with the coming Day of Redemption. Still, the emphasis from the first century to the present day is on removing the guilt of our sin.
