36. Sin
Sin – any break in our relationship with God. We fail to love and trust him, and this can often be seen in our behavior – we do not obey him. We refuse to do something he said we should, or we do something he said we should not. Although bad behavior can be a problem in itself, the greater problem is in our attitude toward God.
