Tedd Tripp on the 5 Dimensions of Sin:

1. Sin is Vertical – Sin is self-worship. When we sin, we are saying, “I want to be God.”


2. Sin is Relational – We sin in community (first homicide, Cain killing Abel, sprung from jealousy).


3. Sin is Environmental – Everything outside of my heart is affected by sin as well.


4. Sin is Psychological – There is chaos and dysfunction at the deepest levels.


5. Sin is Historical – Your history gives tracks for your sin nature to run on.
