Ask
The Bible not only puts a priority on asking questions, it calls for us to seek for the answers. Hebrews 11:6 God says "Reward those who earnestly seek him”. So, from the beginning of the Bible to the end, and especially with Jesus, there is the priority of asking and seeking as a way to come to know wisdom and truth. Even more importantly, asking and seeking are the ways to know God, and to know His Word.
The pursuit of God puts an emphasis on curiosity, on asking good questions, and seeking deeply for answers.
This resource offers simple and short biblically centered answers to common questions.
WHAT IS SIN?
Sin means to miss the mark of perfection. None of us are perfect, therefore we all sin. Sin is also loving anything more than God. It is thinking, speaking, or acting in ways that are against God’s best for us.

Sin causes humanities relationship with God to be broken. Sin brings guilt, shame and death into our lives, making us unworthy before God, who is perfect.
