Hello, my name is Amy and welcome to Simple Reflections of Christianity in today’s episode we are talking about sin. Today, being Friday and the approaching weekend, sin is something as Christians should be front and center of our thoughts.
Sin has multiple meanings, including:
In a religious context, sin is an offense against a deity's law or divine law. In Christianity and Judaism, sin is seen as the deliberate violation of God's will.
Sin can also refer to an action that is considered highly reprehensible or a serious fault. For example, you might say "I think it's a sin to waste food".
The letter "sin" is the 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
Sin is also the name of the Akkadian god of the moon, who is the counterpart of the Sumerian Nanna.

As we head into Friday, many people start to relax and prepare for the weekend ahead, but it’s interesting to think about how the concept of "sin" might play into our weekend plans and reflections. To my brothers and sisters in Christ today and in the coming weekend, there are many aspects to be mindful of that can deepen our faith and enhance our connections with God and one another.
