Sin - Remedy

What is sin? “Transgressions against a divinely appointed moral code.” Sin effects our standing with Almighty God, since sin cannot abide in His presence. But what if, as many non-believers say, there IS no God?

“From a Christian theological perspective, if there is no God, evil does not have a coherent origin or definition, as it is understood as the absence of good, which itself is grounded in God. Without God, there is no objective standard for good or evil, making morality subjective and based solely on individual or societal opinion. In this view, evil is not a created entity but a privation or lack of good, similar to how darkness is the absence of light. Therefore, if God does not exist, the very concept of evil as a moral wrong ceases to have a foundation, and what might be labeled as evil would merely be a human interpretation of actions or conditions without an ultimate moral reference point. Some argue that evil arises from the absence of God's presence and the resulting moral disorder, suggesting that without God, the framework for distinguishing right from wrong collapses.” ^[1]

So for the sake of this blog post, let’s say there IS a God. That would, in a spiritual respect, mean there WAS sin. What would the remedy for sin be?  First, what is a remedy? It’s something that is “meant to correct an evil, fault, or error. It is meant to set something right.” THAT is exactly what Christ’s substitutionary death accomplished. We sinned; He corrected the problem with His blood. Christ’s death was the remedy for our sin.
