The Bible teaches that sin is a universal human problem, with Romans 3:23 stating that all have fallen short of God's glory. According to 1 John 3:4, sin is lawlessness, violating God's commandments and nature. The consequences of sin are severe, as Romans 6:23 warns that the wages of sin is death, while Ezekiel 18:20 emphasizes individual responsibility for one's actions. Through faith, however, believers can be set free from sin's power, as Romans 8:14 promises that those led by the Spirit are sons of God, no longer enslaved to sin.

On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’” He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.
Behold, every soul belongs to Me; both father and son are Mine. The soul who sins is the one who will die.
