1. • • Sin is living without reference to God, not viewing him to be the defining reality of our lives around which our entire lives need to be centered.

   Is sin an offense against God?

   • 1850 Sin is an offense against God: "Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight." 122 Sin sets itself against God's love for us and turns our hearts away from it. Like the first sin, it is disobedience, a revolt against God through the will to become "like gods," 123 knowing and determining good and evil.
