How You View Sin Shapes How You Think Salvation Works
If you downplay sin, you’ll likely believe it can be dealt with through religious rituals, good deeds, or personal effort. But if you see sin for what it truly is—a deep offense against a holy God, a heinous spiritual crime—you’ll realize that only a perfect sacrifice can settle its debt.
If you don't view God as someone who is utterly holy, then sin won't seem all that serious, and the cross won’t seem all that necessary. But when you grasp the blazing purity of God, you begin to understand the weight of sin—and the wonder of Christ's sacrifice.You would come running to Christ and His work on the cross as your only hope of salvation.
