📌 Question of the Week — April 21, 2026
ㅤ
From: Asher, 14 — Stony Creek, Virginia
ㅤ
Question:
“Pastor James, my question is simple: What is sin? I’m still learning my way as a Christian and have a lot of questions. I hope you can help me. Thank you, and God bless.”
ㅤ
Response:
Asher, thank you for your courage to ask—and for trusting me. You’re not alone. Many, both young and old, are asking the same question.

The Bible defines sin as the transgression of God’s law (1 John 3:4) and rebellion against Him (Deuteronomy 9:7). Simply put, sin is anything we think, say, or do that goes against God’s will.

But sin is more than just “doing wrong.” It is a condition of the heart—a separation from God that affects every part of our lives. From the beginning, when sin entered through Adam and Eve, it has impacted all humanity. That’s why understanding sin helps us understand why we need a Savior.

We see the effects of sin everywhere—broken relationships, pain, injustice, and spiritual emptiness. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. The real question is: Will we acknowledge our need for God’s grace, or continue apart from Him?

The good news is this: God didn’t leave us in our sin. Through Jesus Christ, forgiveness, restoration, and new life are available to all who believe.

Asher, we would love to walk alongside you. With your parents’ approval, email us at admin@renacakes.com, and we will send you a copy of Your First Steps in Walking with God.

Thank you again. I pray your question leads many to truth—and to the foot of the Cross.
