Personal Sin: Basic Christian Doctrine

Personal sin is a human act that involves disobedience to God's divine law through external actions, words, or internal acts. It requires the exercise of human freedom and involves taking a negative stance towards God through a disordered love of oneself and love of earthly goods rather than God. Sin is the only real evil since other evils like sickness do not separate us from God, but are simply the deprivation of good things.
