The 10 commandments cover alot of bases of what not to do in order to not sin. Such as worshipping other gods or people, idolizing them and worshipping their every move.
We are not to make any image of or likeness of whats in heaven, earth or in the water below. what does this mean? Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
Sinning is not following the 10 commandments and what they say and mean. Going against God and his commandments is sin. If your following the 10 commandments and sin and then repent, it doesn't mean that your not going to be punished for it, you may very well be punished in some form or other.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
If you sin and repent and never do it again, then your on the right path of righteousness.
We cannot appreciate the magnitude of God's gift of eternal life until we first understand that the wages of sin is death. Wages are what we "earned, " what we "deserve. " "Death" is not only physical death, here, but spiritual and eternal death. Our sin was an offense to the infinitely holy God, and thus justly deserved eternal punishment. But God's grace, which was greater than all our sin, brings us eternal life instead.
