Sin

“As the Son of man, He gave us an example of obedience; as the Son of God, He gives us power to obey.” — The Desire of Ages, page 24

Sin is…
Living in disharmony with the Law of God – action (1 John 3:4, Romans 8:6-8)
Unhealthy appetite – appetite
Moral defilement – mind (Romans 3:12, Jeremiah 17:9, Isaiah 64:6, Mark 7:21-23, 1 Cor 2:14)
Misplaced love – heart
Sickness of the soul – soul (Luke 5:31-2, Mark 2:17, Matthew 13:13-15)
Ruling power – nature (John 8:34, Jeremiah 13:23, Romans 7:14-18, Ephesians 2:1-3)
Law of death – law (Romans 7:23-8:2)
… trying to find meaning apart from God (it leads to a “dead end”)

Sin starts with perception (Gen 1:4,31; Gen 3:6; John 5:19; John 16:1-3; John 8:38; John 14:9; John 1:18)

SIGHT –> THOUGHT –> FEELING –> BEHAVIOUR (ADDICTIONS/APPETITES/ACTIONS)
