 "question": "What are the three kinds of sin and how is each dealt with?",
 "answer": "Sin is a terrible barrier between God and man, but Jesus Christ removed this barrier at the cross. All humanity must deal with three kinds of sin: Imputed sin, which is the sin of Adam placed to the account of every offspring (Rom. 5:12), resulting in every human being being born spiritually dead (John 3:17). Inherent sin is the unique sin nature inherited from parents (John 3:6; Gal. 5:17), composed of areas of weakness, strength, lust, and basic trends. Personal sin results from individual choices and serves as outward evidence of the sin nature (Rom. 3:23). Personal sins are categorized as mental (thoughts), verbal (words), and overt (actions). Imputed sin is dealt with by our placement in Christ at salvation, making us innocent in Him. Inherent sin is dealt with by receiving a new nature when we believe in Jesus Christ, giving us a spirit that cannot sin. Personal sin is dealt with by the fact that Jesus Christ paid for every sin ever committed (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:24; Isa. 53:6).",
