Missing the Mark
Understanding how God desires humanity to view sin requires a basic understanding of the Hebrew and Greek words translated sin, and there are several words in the Old and New Testament that are used to define sin.
The most common of the terms found in the Old Testament is חֵטְא chêṭʾ, and means, “grievously, offence, (punishment of) sin.”
The New Testament word that is most used is ἁμαρτάνω hamartanō, and means, “to act contrary to the will and law of God” or “to miss the mark.”
The Bible terms for sin give the clear understanding that to sin an offense to God’s moral character.
Therefore, sin is the state of being or action that is in direct violation to God and His laws.
Action Contrary to God’s Character
According to the Bible God views sin as an offense to Himself.
God’s character is perfect including His ethical and moral uprightness.
God has revealed His righteousness in Scripture specifically through the law that He established with Israel.
Moses was the human prophet that God used to share with Israel and the world.
These laws were given so that humanity would be able to identify how much it miss the mark of God’s holiness.
Understanding of Our Need For a Saviour
Paul states that he would not know what sin is except the law told him Romans 7:7-8
This is the reason hamartanō is used so often in the New Testament.
Man cannot obtain the righteousness needed to appease God.
James declares that even if an individual keeps all but the “lest of these commandments” that individual has broken all of them by breaking one.
Man’s righteousness cannot measure up to God’s standard.
