A Book About Sin and God

The Bible is a book about sin.

Sins are either mentioned, listed, explained, or spoken about in every book of the Bible except two.

(Song of Solomon is a song of love and marriage which Hebrews 13:4 says is honorable in all and the bed undefiled. Philemon is called the “charity epistle,” and charity is called the bond of perfectness in Colossians 3:14.)

The likely reason that sin is found so much in the Bible is because men have a hard time seeing it without help.

The Bible is a book about God.

God is also mentioned in every book of the Bible except two.

(Song of Solomon is just as much about the land God loved and married – Isa 62:4 – as the woman Solomon did. Esther shows that, for Israel, the lot is of the Lord – Prov 16:33; Esther 9:24-26.)

The Bible speaks a lot about God and sin, because sin is what is contrary to God. If you know God, you can know what sin is. You can’t know your sin without knowing the holiness of God. This should lead us to repentance, calling upon the Lord for His mercy.

This is why the holy scriptures “are able to make us wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 3:15). It speaks of our sin and God our Saviour throughout.

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” – Titus 2:13

For the glory of God,

Justin “He saved me” Johnson
