How do we know that sin is a plague in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible portrays sin as a plague, highlighting its pervasive and destructive qualities throughout scripture.

Sin is often referred to in scripture as a plague indicative of its severe consequences and the nature of its defilement. In the context of biblical leprosy, it is made clear that the primary emphasis is not merely on the physical symptoms but the underlying moral and spiritual implications of sin. The descriptions found in Leviticus demonstrate how leprosy was uniquely given to illustrate God's holiness and the necessity of proper purification. The progressive nature of leprosy throughout the chapters signifies the pervasive spread of sin within the human heart and reveals the urgent need for an atonement that provides spiritual cleansing. This understanding is further supported in the New Testament with reminders of how Jesus provides that healing, describing himself as the ultimate purifier who cleanses us from all wrongdoing.
