What does the Bible say about sin and sinners?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that sin is a transgression committed by sinners, and God hates sin as well as the sinful actions of those who do it.

According to Scripture, sin is defined as the transgression of God's law, indicating that a sinner is someone who commits sin. Notably, the Bible states in Psalm 5:4 that God does not take pleasure in wickedness and hates all workers of iniquity. This shows us that sin is not merely an abstract concept but directly tied to the sinner who commits it. Scripture also emphasizes that 'the wages of sin is death' (Romans 6:23), indicating the severe consequences of sin and God's just response to it. The connection between a sinner and wrongdoing is inseparable; understanding the nature of sin begins with realizing that it is the sinner who acts.
