What is sin?
The Catechism defines sin:
- Sin is an offense against God… Sin sets itself against God's love for us and turns our hearts away from it. Like the first sin, it is disobedience, a revolt against God through the will to become "like gods," knowing and determining good and evil. Sin is thus "love of oneself even to contempt of God." (CCC 1850)
- In other words, sin is an intentional turning away from God. It is our personal choice, even though knowing better we make a selfish decision to walk away from God, His wisdom, love and grace.
