If you break one of the 10 Commandments is it a sin?
Of course, Just like if I cut my hair its a sin, if I eat shellfish it's a sin, If I have relations with my wife while she is mensturating it's a sin, If my wife doesn't cover her head and remain silent in Church it's a sin, If I wear mixed fiber clothing its a sin, If my child talks back to me and i DON'T beat him to a bloody pulp its a sin, etc.....but I'll let Paul address what that means today:
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—13 For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 5:13-20)
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. (1 Corinthians 15:56)
Sin is sin, and existed BEFORE the Law.
However, Before the Law, man's individual sins were not measured against Him, Rather Man was Born Condemned whether He sinned or not, Because Adam's Sin was imputed upon all men at Birth. Man's actions in life had no bearing.
Then Came the Law, which gave strength to sin, enabling mans individual sins to convict Him apart from Adam's.
Then Came the Christ, fulfilling the Law, removing the sting of Death and the strength of Sin, and imparting the free gift righteousness to sinners, and ONLY to sinners.
Now, as before the law came into the world, Mans Individual sins do not Condemn Him.
Rather one today is either "in Adam", Already condemned whether He sins or not,
Or one is "in Christ" saved even though He is a sinner.
The Law, and therefore one's individual sins, are no longer the Measuring Stick God uses to determine if one is saved (or not).
