Sin Is Disunity with God
“No one gets to choose what’s sinful and what’s not except for God. He has the full authority on morality.”
~ Abby Johnson
Correct.
It’s not so much that God chooses what is sinful or not, as much as disunity with Him is sin and causes death… Physical and spiritual.
God is the Author, Sustainer and Source of Life, therefore anything we do outside of His will separates us from that Life. The natural result is death, just as unplugging any device from an outlet would cause it to stop functioning.
This world has been unplugged from that Source of Life and the battery is running out, so to speak. We are born into a sinful (disconnected) world, being sinful (disconnected) from birth. We can’t reconnect to that Source of Life on our own any more than a lamp can plug itself in.
That’s why we need a Savior: One who is connected/unified with God, to save us from the death that results in our separation from God, and reunify us with Him, our Source of Life!

As we cannot dictate God’s will to Him, we most certainly can not change what is and is not in His will. Anything outside of His will is sin. He has made known a great deal of His will to us, and in the vast areas in which He has not revealed His will to the masses through His Word, the Bible, He reveals His will to individuals through His Holy Spirit, in the grey areas of Grace.
