The World's Sin

According to Christ the world's sin is unbelief: The world's sin is that it refuses to believe me; he tells the disciples in John 16.9 (NLT). This seems to fit squarely into Paul's description of sinful man and his penchant to worship anything and everything but the Creator.

Professing to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. (Rom 1.22-23, NASB).


Just so. It is not difficult to explain why this is. Mankind is prone to pride; refusing to believe that Christ is God is the outward indication of the desire to be one's own God.
