“The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29.

Did you read that well? It reads, “sin,” not “sins.”

Repeatedly, you find the Godhead dealing with sin, and not sins.

When Jesus talked about the coming of the Holy Spirit, he said he would do three things:

“He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” John 16:8.

And then the next verses explain those three items… but see how he expounds on sin:

“Of sin, because they do not believe in me.” John 16:9.

Now….

What is this sin?

Go back in the garden of Eden…what is the meaning of the garden of Eden?

Note; when you read the Bible, allow it to explain itself. And it does…let me give you an example.

What is love? “This is love, that we walk according to his commandments.” 2 John 6.

What is eternal life? “And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” John 17:3. By the way, Jesus said these words..

You get the point…..so what was the garden of Eden?

“You were in Eden, the garden of God
