- It involves a call to repentance, a change of heart, and a turning away from evil.

Understanding Sin
- Sin is viewed as breaking God's law, violating basic relationships of respect and love with fellow humans and with God, and going against one's conscience.
- A genuine Christian sense of sin is the opposite of a guilt complex, and its source and point of reference is God, not ourselves.
