Ko e ha ‘a e angahala?

(What is sin?)

Ko e angahalá  ko e sītu‘a pe ta‘etokanga‘i ‘a e ‘Otuá ‘i he mamani na‘a ne fakatupú, mo‘ui fakafetau kiate Ia, talangata‘a ki he‘ene laó ‘o iku ki he‘etau mate mo e ‘auha ‘a e me‘a fakatupu kotoa pe. 

( Sin is rejecting or ignoring God in the world he created, rebelling against him by living without reference to him, not being or doing what he requires in his law, resulting in our death and the disintegration of all creation. )

1 Sione 3:4

Ko ia kotoa pē ‘oku fai angahala ‘oku ne maumau foki ‘a e lao: ‘io, ko e angahalá  ko e maumau lao ia.

1 John 3:4

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness

Commentary - JOHN LIN  (Cont…)

Not living in reference to God not only leads to our personal death and disintegration; it's the reason why the entire cosmos is subject to death and disintegration. God created Adam and Eve to be the centerpiece and the pinnacle of creation. When they sinned, their disobedience of God's loving law not only had implications on their lives, it also had implications on the entire cosmos.
