Thanks for being with us today! We’re continuing our sermon series, What We Believe, by exploring Question 16 of the New City Catechism—a powerful reminder that none of us can keep God’s law perfectly because of our sinful nature. While that may sound weighty, it actually points us to the incredible hope we have in Christ—and that’s exactly what we’ll unpack together today. This message is brought by our Lead Pastor, Stefan Bomberger.
WHAT IS SIN? SIN...
1. Rejects the Creator (Psalm 14:1)
2. Breaks God's Law (1 John 3:4)
3. Results in Death (Romans 6:23)
Question 16: What is sin?
Answer: Sin is rejecting or ignoring God in the world he created, rebelling against him by living without reference to him, not being or doing what he requires in his law - resulting in our death and the disintegration of all creation (WCF 6.1–6.6; WSC Q.14; WLC Q.24–25).
