Hamartiology: The Seven-Fold Victory Over Sin Through Christ Opening text and thought: Revelation 12:10-11; Hebrews 2:14-15 “Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ,I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words, ‘in Christ’.” (Watchman Nee) Why does God allow sin?

Hamartiology –The Doctrine of Sin

Bible Text: Romans 7:13 | Steve Damron
Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but forbidden because it is hurtful. - Benjamin Franklin, American inventor (1705-1790) Opening Thought: We cannot emphasize too strongly the necessity of understanding God’s take on sin and not man’s take on sin. The world does not like the ideas of man being ruined by the fall, redemption through the blood of Christ. Other terms such as sin, being lost, hell-bound, condemnation and other Biblical terms are not looked upon as relevant
