Why Is It Important To Know What Iniquity Is?

The Bible says that Lucifer was perfect in his ways until iniquity was found in him. How can we know what iniquity is? We can begin by asking some questions: what does it mean in Hebrew and Greek? How did Jesus use it? What else does the Bible say about it? If we can come to a biblical understanding of this word we will be on the right path to a greater understanding of Lucifer’s rebellion, and we will grasp the true meaning of his Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

One verse in particular ought to raise some red flags about this word. In this passage Jesus is particularly speaking to those who consider themselves His followers. Look at what He says:

"And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out" (Luke 13: 22-28).
