Exactly, to him that "knoweth" to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Some interpret this wide open. If you know that Big Macs are bad for you and you have heart disease in your family, if you so much as eat a Big Mac... you're backslidden and Hell bound.

But I was taught it a little differently. The implication is that one can KNOW what is right. It isn't arbitrary. So what is it that we can KNOW and OBEY to keep us out of sin?

It's easy really....the Ten Commandments.

If you can look at the Ten Commandments and with assurance say that you've not broken them today, you've lived above sin.
