What is sin?

Overall sin for the Jews is against the law ( 1 Jn 3:4 );

For the Gentiles ( non Jews ) conscience, what’s written on heart ( Rom 2:12-15; Gens 2:16-17 );

After Jesus came, and went sin is now to NOT Love God, people, and yourself with all heart ( Mk 12:29-31 ); Also if not specific don’t let things get you in BONDAGE, of if things are not EDIFYING ( 1 Cor 6:12; 10:23 ); Sin is now under the umbrella of these scriptures for all.

There is also sin unto death ( 1 Jn 5:16-17 ) that is different than a sin that doesn’t lead to death. Sin not unto death like wearing 2 types of garments ( Lev 19:19 ), is different from thou shall not rob thy neighbor ( Lev 19:13 ). Robbing your neighbor could lead to violence, and death, where 2 types of clothing can’t.

Sin separates people from being righteous to God ( Isa 59:2 ). If you break any of Jews laws, or conscience, written on heart Gentile laws, you are guilty of all ( James 2:10 ). Only way to solve this problem is receive Jesus, who fulfilled law ( Matt 5:17 ), and judged sin ( Rom 8:3 ). to make who all believe in him righteous to God ( 2 Cor 5:21 ).

All sin for believers now is paid for, and forgiven ( Col 2:13; Eph 1:7 ). Now sin to believers is for our good or not ( Deut 10:13; 30:19 ).Which all believers desire good ( 1 Jn 3:3 ). Sin for unbelievers they have no way out ( Eph 2:2-3 ).

What's God's expectations of living if we all still fall short ( Rom 3:23 ), but we are called to holiness ( 1 Pet 1:16 )? God expects shoot for perfection, but grow daily to MUCH FRUIT that shall remain ( Jn 15:16; Prov 24:16; Lk 8:11-15 ); IF TO DEEP, AND STRUGGLING, COME TO END OF SELF ( Lk:15 ), and seek elders for help ( James 5:14-16 ) You're forsaking YOUR OWN mercy ( Jonah 2:8 ). God NEVER gives up on believers ( Heb 13:5; 2 Tim 2:13 ).

Answer to sin? Jesus, focus on Jesus,( word of God ) sin is dealt with ( Rom 8:6, 12:1-2; Heb 12:2 ).
