Sin is unbelief in Christ and in the finished work of Christ but instead relying on our own-self righteousness/holiness for not only salvation but for righteousness too and in being acceptable to God.
John 16:8-9 (NASB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
Sin is trying to establish our own righteousness by what "we do or don't do" which is what the Law of Moses was based on.
Romans 10:2-4 (NASB)
[SUP]2 [/SUP] For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.
[SUP]3 [/SUP] For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
[SUP]4 [/SUP] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Works-based humanistic earthly minded D.I.Y self-righteousness/holiness belief systems always get the gospel and the things of the Spirit backwards and try to achieve what Christ has already done.
