Day 105. What are sins? (2025)

Today is day 105 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the sixteenth line: “The Forgiveness of Sins”.

105. What are sins?

Sins are intentions, acts, or failures to act that arise out of my corrupted human nature and fall short of conformity to God’s revealed will. (Psalm 53; Isaiah 59:1–15; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23; James 4:17; 1 John 3:4–10)

We will conclude today with A Collect for Grace in Morning Prayer found on page 23 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
