What does the Bible say about sin and righteousness?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that sin is a ruling principle leading to death, while righteousness is obtained through obedience to God.

Scripture describes sin as more than just a series of actions; it is a ruling principle that ensnares and debilitate individuals. Romans 6:16 clearly states that one becomes a servant to whom they yield themselves, whether to sin leading to death or obedience leading to righteousness. The significance of this is profound for Christians, as it illustrates the transformative power of grace that frees us from the dominion of sin, allowing us to become servants of righteousness.
