To answer my own question, somebody said in our Sabbath School class is that the opposite of sin is grace.

This would fit with the Memory Text which says:
Quote:

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8, NIV).


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

I found the Sabbath Afternoon section interesting when I read the grace is unique to Christianity in that no other religion has grace in their religions.

that is interesting!


Psa 64:5 ...an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

Psa 7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His mischief (and his violent dealing) shall return upon his own head.

Psa 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Yes, grace is unique because agape is selfless self initiation toward others. Thus the opposite of sin is agape, a characteristic of what is grace.

Only the living God reaches out to fallen man, while other "religions" have the opposite, or no separate deity at all.

Not to go into any detail on big words, but the uniqueness of grace is hidden in the Biblical propitiation, compared to heathen expiation: basically, propitiation means God comes to us and atones for us by the sacrifice of his only begotten Son for our sins; expiation, as the alternative (there's differing views on which word has which meaning, but the words differ as I'm submitting here), is man attempting to atone for himself with his deity by offering sacrifices of appeasement for his sins.

Grace propitiates, no other religion does.

Grace may be a healing balm for sin, but it is not the opposite of it. The opposite of transgression of the law is obedience to the law.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.


We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

Now you're moving on to practicalities, Green!

There are two sides to sin: the 'traditional' transgression of the law, and the principle of lawlessness. There are two sides to its opposite: agape, expressed in the law of the character of Christ our Lord and Saviour, and obedience to God whose law draws us to the Saviour from its curse.

Principle, thought, action...: all are true, and each has its place.

I think agape would be the opposite of sin.


Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.
