Throughout this course we see that God explains what sin is. But now we will see that the Scriptures give us an even broader view of sin than we have already encountered. So we begin this lesson by examining the aspects of sin most commonly referred to in the Bible. At the same time we will learn why we sin so we can better understand the necessity of the conversion process. We will then proceed to the other aspects of repentance, baptism and conversion.
