Many say 'I have sinned' Very simply!

They do not recognize the significance of the words nor their depth.

We also repeat the same words in the Lord's Prayer, saying, "Forgive us our sins", and in Psalm 51:4, "Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight".

We say the same in the Trisagion, "Forgive us our sins, our iniquities and our trespasses". We say these words simply without recognizing their serious significance! So, let us know what is sin?
