The Old Testament reveals sin, and God’s attitude toward sin. Paul said, “Is the law sin? God forbid. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet” (Rom. 7:6). Paul learned that coveting was sinful by God through the law of Moses. Through the law is “the knowledge of sin” (Rom. 3:20). God’s attitude toward sin was revealed in the old testament. God’s displeasure toward sin was manifested in Genesis 3. Other Old Testament records document His willingness to punish sin, including such things as the Flood (Gen. 6-8), the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19), the death of Nadab and Abihu,(Lev. 10:1-2), etc. From the Old Testament record, we can learn that sin is the transgression of the law of God (1 Jn. 3:4) and that sin will be punished by God (Rom. 6:23).
