What is the opposite of sin?

To answer my own question, somebody said in our Sabbath School class is that the opposite of sin is grace.

This would fit with the Memory Text which says:

I found the Sabbath Afternoon section interesting when I read the grace is unique to Christianity in that no other religion has grace in their religions.

that is interesting!

Yes, grace is unique because agape is selfless self initiation toward others. Thus the opposite of sin is agape, a characteristic of what is grace.

Only the living God reaches out to fallen man, while other "religions" have the opposite, or no separate deity at all.

Not to go into any detail on big words, but the uniqueness of grace is hidden in the Biblical propitiation, compared to heathen expiation: basically, propitiation means God comes to us and atones for us by the sacrifice of his only begotten Son for our sins; expiation, as the alternative (there's differing views on which word has which meaning, but the words differ as I'm submitting here), is man attempting to atone for himself with his deity by offering sacrifices of appeasement for his sins.

Grace propitiates, no other religion does.

And that is also very interesting!

Grace may be a healing balm for sin, but it is not the opposite of it. The opposite of transgression of the law is obedience to the law.

Now you're moving on to practicalities, Green!

There are two sides to sin: the 'traditional' transgression of the law, and the principle of lawlessness. There are two sides to its opposite: agape, expressed in the law of the character of Christ our Lord and Saviour, and obedience to God whose law draws us to the Saviour from its curse.

Principle, thought, action...: all are true, and each has its place.

I think agape would be the opposite of sin.
