Sin: The Unwelcome Virus // Chris Nye - 03.08.26

The Hebrew and Greek words for sin literally mean, “Missing the goal.” But, as David Bentley Hart points out, this very word infers the desire for the good or the goal of God’s goodness. We simply do not do what we ultimately desire, and this twists our desires. The tragedy of sin is that it is its own punishment. “The wrath of God” is simply the continuation of sin. “Sin becomes the punishment to sin,” writes St. Augustine. As we sin, we “curve inward” on ourselves over and over only to lose ourselves to our own pleasures and away from God’s goodness.
