God is light - and we have tragic flaws

Mistranslated

There is a serious problem with the modern, simplified concept of sin. We find terrible misunderstanding and misinterpretations of sin, especially among Christian believers.
We have to learn about Sin as a state of being, as well as transgression, or tragic frailty, serious weakness, as an act.
In the New Testament we use a Greek word for our iniquity and sinful deeds.
This is the hamartia
ha·mar·ti·a (hä′mär-tē′ə)
Tragic flaw.
Greek, from hamartanein: "to miss the mark"
This is a kind of sports expression: "To miss the target. To shoot wide."
(We are not far from the truth when we say that the competitor did not even hit the target during the shot.)

Why did the apostles use this term instead of the legal concept of 'sin'?

First, the heritage of the humankind is the devastating status: sin. Our heritage which came from the the bad decision of Adam and Eve. Sin is a state of separation from God.
But hamartia /tragic flaw is different! Hamartia does indeed stem from sin, but it is about our character.
Tragic flaw is a defect in the character of a good person /protagonist (as the hero of a tragedy) that causes his or her destruction.
The apostle John beautifully expresses the difference between the state of habitual sinfulness, serious weakness, and {occasional} falling. Once he talks about how it matters what we walk in {practice}. This is habitus or custom. Another time he talks about the situation when we commit a sin {occasions}:

Light vs Darkness

God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk1 in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
if we walk1 in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin, frailty, tragic flaws2.
1 this is the continual action or habit
2 frailty, flaw: Christ continually cleanses us because he always lives and prays (Heb 7:25 see below)

If we say "we have no tragic flaws", we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our tragic flaws, he is faithful and just to forgive us our tragic flaws and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:5-9

We have safety in Jesus Christ

if anyone does tragic flaw, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
1Jn 2:1
⇓ The author of the Hebrew letter gives us further hint of the continual high-priestly interceding:
... because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Heb 7:25

Permanent restoration

Finally, a great teaching from Jesus Christ himself about continual restoration:
When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Jn 13:12.14
Dear reader! Do you understand why we need constant purification on this path we walk on earth?

The Hos 6:6

series: Our Living Word 2/4 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is really important to Jesus. The Hosea's prophecy is a important key for the Christendom because the Lord Christ teaches this verse twice. Once for the sake of his disciples. Once for the sake of the whole world. I desire steadfast love (mercy) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 As we saw in the first part of the "Living Word" series , our possibilities have fundamentally changed and they have become more extensive with the arrival of Jesus Christ. He knows that Hosea 6:6 holds a profound revelation, often overlooked yet crucial to us all. He spoke openly about the fact that Hosea 6:6 was not just for Israel at that time. Rather it talks about Him - giving us a fundamental prophecy about His messianic calling, identity and ministry. I'm going to show you some leading, helpful verses from this prophetic context. His m...

Fairytale in Norfolk

Image
series: Our Living Word 4/4 Word, became flesh ..a hopeful fairytale in Norfolk - with a spin... Once upon a time in Norfolk,... This fairy tale began in Norfolk, in a town whose name I cannot remember, where the pastor of the small community there believed that the values that the Lord Jesus had instilled in them should be passed on. He had been working in the social sector for quite some time. He wanted to pass God's Love to the neighborhood. One might think that socialization among English people mainly takes place in pubs. However, it is unlikely that most people will be kissing each other there. Although it is indeed possible to talk there, it is not particularly predestined that long term relationships will develop. The pub is good for many things, but not for presenting our Christian life, for example. Sarah Clark 1789 This city, whose name I have forgotten, is famous for its rich ancient culture. Its architecture and various flavors are deeply...

Stress or Rest?

Image
Jesus on stress Phil Moore, London Most people don’t find {Jesus’ teaching on rest} very controversial. That’s because they haven’t understood it. They think that Jesus’ teaching about stress and worry is nothing more than fortune-cookie wisdom, nothing more than a first-century version of the Bobby McFerrin song, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. But it isn’t. It is much, much more radical than that. It tells us that stress is the chief symptom of our idolatry and self-worship. When we understand what Jesus said about stress and worry, it’s easy to see why it got him killed. The gospel writers tell us that the issue of stress and worry was a recurring theme in Jesus’ teaching. Luke tells us what he taught in the autumn of 29 AD, only five or six months before his enemies crucified him: Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or ...
