What Is Sin?147in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven [God].” Christ putssin on a much deeper level than I John 3:4. What does Jesus meanby being more righteous than the scribes and Pharisees?

This is exactly as Adam’soffense when sin or missing the mark of The Law was notlegally enforced even though known. The Law doesn’t changenature or make one perfect. Now, you know what real Godly
