초록

The sin which is regarded as the main theological theme in the Old
Testament has broken off the relationship between God, Man, and the
world. It occasioned by the disobedience and rebellion of the human
race with regard to God and God’s will. As a result of their rebellion
against and disobedience to God, they lead a life in the alienation from
the life of God.
The nature of sin emerges with equal clarity from the Old Testament:
disobedience, punishment, and the forgiveness of sin constitute major
themes in nearly every book from Genesis through Malachi. In the Old
Testament the meaning of sin is disobedience, rebellion, covenant disloyalty,
and religious apostasy which is depicted in terms of violence, arrogance,
harlotry in the religious context. These conceptions of sin in the
Old Testament reflect the influence of Semitic culture and the strongly
ethical-moralistic character of ancient Israelite religion. Sin as moral-ethical
evil implicates the human being as a creature of choice in a contest
of their autonomous wills and allegiances to the Creator.
Human sin sets in motion a series of consequences which would
eventuate in the death of the sinner. But God has prepared for them the
forgiveness that formed a vital doctrine in Israelite faith. Though the path
to forgiveness through repentance and cultic ritual might be complicated,
though compensation and expiatory sacrifice might be costly, the hope
of restored relationship with God found an equally important place in the
Old Testament.
The hope is the activity of God’s salvation. The Old Testament expresses
in a variety of ways the promise that the broken relationship between
God and people will be restored. This promise will be fulfilled only
when God forgives his people. Nourished in the poems of Israel’s psalmists
and writing prophets, this promise of forgiven sin formed the basis
of hope for individual and national identity as the chosen people which
would live on in the hearts of the Israelites for many centuries. God’s forgiveness
is solely out of his grace and steadfast love. This gift of God
is the prime mover of his salvation for them. This sacred activity of God’s
salvation as the practical and personal ministry has been accomplished by
the self-sacrificing death and power of the resurrection of Christ in the
New Testament.
