How the world today treats sin casually.

No individuals who have received the Holy Spirit should treat sin casually.  First, before we can really answer this, we have to ask, what is sin?  Whomever you ask, will give a different answer to what is sin.  Did you know, the Apostle John tells us what sin is, but nobody believes it and there is a, but, or some expression like this. 

John tells us in 1st John 3 that sin is the transgression of the law.  Therefore, John tells us that sin is breaking the 10 commandments.  What happens to a person when they break any of the commandments?  Paul tells us they then are producing the works of the flesh in Gal 5.  Since we live by the Spirit, (those who have the Holy Spirit living in and through us) will produce the fruit of the Spirit. 

We find that the world today (Satan is the god of this world or age until Jesus our Lord returns to set up His Kingdom at the start of the Millennium) are saying evil is good and good is evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.  God said to those who do this “Woe.”  We have heard this all our life from schools, TV, movies and government and from the churches; this is how our society treats sin today by pushing and forcing the works of the flesh upon all people in all places.

(1 John 3:4 KJV)  Whosoever committed sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

(Gal 5:19-23 KJV)  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, {20} Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, {21} Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

(Gal 5:22-25 NIV)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, {23} gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. {24} Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. {25} Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

(Isa 5:20 NIV)  Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
