Harder than I thought.....

So, I began writing the first chapter yesterday and am working on it right now, but I was so surpsied by this revelation that I had to share. I said in a previous post that Salvation was going to be the easiest and hardest subject I tackle, but it is crucial because every relationship in a Christian's life reverts back to this one. I had no idea how right I was going to be. Yesterday, I started writing about Salvation and realized that Sin is the reason why we need Salvation, so I should back track and write a quick definition.... I've been trying to write this "quick defintion" for two hours now! The wording needs to be right.... The Biblical support needs to be there..... I wish I could skip ahead to a later chapter, but everything builds on this. So, I'm off to work on it.....again.


Less than a half an hour after I posted the above paragraph, I think I've got a workable definition. "Sin is disobedience of God. Disobedience was the first sin and is the core of all other sins as illustrated in Romans 5:19, 'For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.'"
It's amazing to feel God lead you to the verse you need.....
