Now let's try and define sin, from a biblical perspective.
Sin is anything that is contrary to the will of God or doesn't show the holy character of God,
The Hebrew and Greek words translated "sin" throughout the Bible revolve largely around two major concepts. The
first is that of transgression. To transgress means "to step across" or "to go beyond a set boundary or limit." The second
is to miss the mark.
In most sports there is a boundary and if a player steps outside the boundary, he has committed a transgression. Those
of us who are or have participated in sport know what it is to miss the mark.
The transgression in sport is a penalty, the transgression in God's judgment is
sin.
Definition of the word Sin (Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Sin is “any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God” ( 1 John 3:4 ; Rom. 4:15 ), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission ( Rom. 6:12-17 ; 7:5-24). Taken from Easton's bible dictionary. You can read the complete article at.
"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we
make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives" (1 John 1:8-10).
Is sport a sin, in YOUR life? Only you can answer that question.
Does sport come before God? If the answer is yes, then sport may have become YOUR
god and.....YOUR answer.
MATTHEW 6:24 NKJ
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he
will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Whatever controls you, or ultimately determines your decisions, is your god.

We have added links to sites that have articles on the definition of sin. You have to decide for yourself,
whether sport is a sin in your life. It is our belief, that enough has been written, for you to start searching for the
answer.
We believe that the majority of people reading this page, have a desire to be acceptable to God.
Blessings to you in your relationship with God and your sport or sports.
I have to admit that sport was a sin in my life. I lived for sport. It took first place in my life over, God,
my family and my work. I still enjoy sports, however; sport doesn't control my life. My present priorities, God, family, work
and recreation.

Definition of the word Forgiveness of sin
In pardoning sin, God absolves the sinner from the condemnation of the law, and that
on account of the work of Christ, i.e., he removes the guilt of sin, or the sinner’s actual liability to eternal wrath
on account of it. All sins are forgiven freely ( Acts 5:31 ; 13:38; 1 John 1:6-9 ). The sinner is
by this act of grace for ever freed from the guilt and penalty of his sins. This is the peculiar prerogative of God ( Ps. 130:4 ; Mark 2:5 ). It is offered to all.
