Sin & hope - partners incorporated

Sin may sound judgmental, but is it?
Topics

Sin.

It is an ugly word conjuring up ugly images. It is word associated with religious judgmentalism. Sin, it just sounds bad.

And yet, if there is no idea of wrong, failure and evil, that is sin, then there is no hope. But with the concept of sin hope opens up as a possibility.

There is hope of change and the alleviation of what is wrong. There is hope that things could be different. There is hope that we as human beings are not just subject to forces outside our control.

How can we ever feel clean free and hopeful if we believe in sin?

Yet, In the very idea of sin there is hope.
