In the Bible, the term "sinner" refers to an individual who transgresses God's commandments or lives in opposition to His will. The Hebrew word for sin, "חטא" (chata), means "to miss the mark," indicating a failure to achieve the standard set by God (see Romans 3:23). In the New Testament, the Greek term "ἁμαρτωλός" (hamartolos) is often used to describe a sinner, emphasizing the moral failing inherent in their actions. Sinners are portrayed as those who are estranged from God due to their sinful behavior, as seen in Isaiah 59:2, which states, "But your iniquities have separated you from your God."The Bible also offers a redemptive perspective on sinners. Jesus Christ, in His ministry, often associated with sinners, exemplifying God’s grace and mercy. In Luke 19:10, He declares, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost," highlighting the purpose of His mission. Furthermore, the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) illustrates the possibility of repentance and restoration, assuring that no sinner is beyond the reach of God's forgiveness. Thus, while the Bible recognizes sinners as those who fall short of God's glory, it simultaneously emphasizes the hope and redemption available through faith in Jesus Christ.
