A mortal sin is a grave action someone commits with full knowledge, meaning they know it is a sin. It is done with the deliberate consent of the person committing the sin.

One key Scripture used to support a belief in mortal sin appears in 1 John. These verses raise some important questions. What is a sin that leads to death? What is a sin that does not lead to death? If you look at this verse through the eyes of Old Testament law, there were clearly sins punishable by death. These were capital offenses, including bl...

The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals, but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, and not according to the practices of Israel. Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand.
Mortal sin is called mortal because it is the “spiritual” death (separation from God) of the soul. Having been in the state of grace, a believer loses this spiritual, supernatural life. If one dies without repenting he will lose Him for eternity.
