SIN REIGNED

Scripture: Rom. 5:21

1. The meaning of sin
   1. Sin is not only a behavior but also a life. Sin is not a dead thing but a living being with a personality.
   2. Sin itself is the life of the Devil, Satan. The behavior of sin is the multitude of wicked things.
2. The power of sin
   1. The behavior of sin causes man to suffer punishment of sin, and sin itself is a kind of power dwelling in man.
   2. The power of sin dominates man and puts man under the slavery of sin; thus sin can reign in man.
3. The result of the reigning of sin
   1. It causes man to sin and do evil against his will.
   2. It causes man to die. Once man sins and does evil, he has to die.
4. How to escape sin
