INIQUITY
It literally means injustice, the condition of not being righteous, either in relation to God, based on his immutable standard of justice and holiness, or in relation to men, based on what man knows to be righteous. his own conscience.
In the OT, iniquity is indicated as an internal condition of the heart of man (Ps. 58:2), also applying the term iniquity to unjust acts committed (Ps. 36:12).
The members of sinful man are instruments of iniquity (Rom. 6:13ff.); The mystery of iniquity is at work that will culminate with the arrival of “that wicked one” (2 Thes. 2:7-12), who will lead an apostate world into rebellion against God, posing as God (2 Thes. 2: 4; see ANTICHRIST);
The believer must depart from iniquity in his life and relationships (2 Tim. 2:19), and to pursue “righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with those who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Tim. . 2:22).
Through the shedding of his blood the Lord Jesus has put into force the New Covenant, on the basis of which he can justify those who believe in Him (Rom. 3: 22-26); Thus, God promises: “I will never again remember his sins and his iniquities.”
The destiny of the unrepentant will be eternal punishment (Mt. 13:41)
