Scripture describes sin as producing wounds in the soul that corrupt every faculty of a person (Isaiah 1:6).
Sin is depicted in the Bible as a wound that corrupts the soul, demonstrated vividly in Isaiah 1:6: 'From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrifying sores.' This passage illustrates the pervasive effect of sin, impacting every aspect of human nature—mind, will, and emotions. The soul is wounded by sin in such a way that our understanding is darkened, our will is perverted, and our conscience becomes callous. This spiritual corruption necessitates a divine remedy, provided through the redemptive work of Christ. The acknowledgment of sin as a wound drives individuals towards seeking healing and restoration in Him.
