INTRODUCTION: Various names have been given to sin. Some call it a mistake or failure while some call it a weakness. Whatever name you want to call it, sin is sin. Sin means disobedience to the Almighty God. It is the violation of the perfect holiness of God (1 John 3:4). Sin in the Hebrew tongue is chatta’ah (khat-taw-aw’) meaning habitual offence.
LESSON OUTLINES:
- The Genesis Of Sin
- Results Of Sin And Way Out
1. THE GENESIS OF SIN
Sin started with Satan (Isaiah 14:12-14). It then entered the world through Adam and Eve because they listened to Satan and thereafter disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-8). The word sin was first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 4:7 (KJV). The scripture classified the following as sin. All unrighteousness (1 John 5:17a; Romans 1:29-31), lawlessness (1 John 3:4; 1 Timothy 1:9-11) disobedience/rebellion (1 Samuel 15:22-23a; Colossians 3:5-8).
CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Teachers should allow the students to discuss how sin originated from Satan.
2. RESULTS OF SIN AND WAY OUT
Sin is dangerous and should be avoided. Some of its grievous consequences are:
- Separation from God: The sinner will be separated from God (Isaiah 59:2).
- Exposure to attacks: Sinners have no divine covering, hence, they are susceptible to different attacks (Ecclesiastes 10:8b).
- Eternal punishment: sinners will be punished on earth and in eternity (Matthew 25:46).
- Death: Sinners will experience spiritual death (Romans 6:23a).
- Hell: This is the final abode of sinners. (Matthew 25:41).
Sinners cannot hide their sins from God (Jeremiah 2:22). The joy however, is that they can be free from sin by acknowledging that they are sinners who cannot help themselves. They need to accept the saving grace of God (Ephesians 2:4-5) through the confession of their sin to Him (1 John 1:9) and accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord (Romans 10:9-10). Sinners must repent and forsake their evil ways (Proverbs 28:13; Acts 2:37-38) and ask Jesus to cleanse their sins with His powerful blood (Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 1:7).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Do you have an unconfessed sin? Ensure you settle with your Creator today.
CONCLUSION: God can pardon any sin if we repent of it (Isaiah 55:7).
QUESTIONS:
- Describe sin and its origin.
- What are the results of sin?

I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

Both young and will sing Thy song,
We long for Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

The Holy Spirit, great teacher,
Does manifest in thee. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
This testimony is sure,
That God, the Father Almighty,
Poured His blessing on Thee - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Though the sun be so bright,
Or if the clouds be black with rain,
I’ll be in Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day
I rejoice to see Thee,
Will thou pass over me today?
Without my being blest?
