Like salvation, sin is a word that belongs to the traditional Christian
vocabulary. ‘I am not a sinner,’ people often say, because they seem to be
associating sin with specific and rather sensational misdeeds like
murder, adultery, and theft.

But ‘sin’ has a much wider connotation than that…. What the
Bible means by sin is primarily self-centeredness…. For God’s two great commandments are first that we love him with all our being and secondly that we love our neighbor as we love
ourself.
“

Sin, then, is the reversal of this order. It is to put ourselves first…our
neighbour next when it suits our convenience, and God some where
in the background.”
“”~ The late Anglican minister, John Stott

“Now concerning brotherly love, you
have no need of anyone to write you for you
yourselves have been taught by God to love one another. But we urge you , brothers, to
do this more and more.”

“We proclaim that God is love, and that Jesus Christ offers true community. We insist that the church is part of the gospel. God’s purpose, we say, is not merely to
save isolated individuals, and so perpetuate their loneliness, but to build a church, to
create a new society, even a new humanity, in which racial, national, social
and sexual barriers have been abolished....

“...People searching for community ought to be pouring into our churches…. For there
are Christian communities all over the world where true, sacrificial, serving, supportive
love is to be found. Where such Christian love flourishes, its magnetism is almost
IRRESISTIBLE.”
John Stott The Contemporary Christian
