No Longer Are We Separated From God

This is the realization. Sin is terrible. Sin is horrible. Sin separates Man from God. And Man is not meant to be separate from God. Man should be united with God. Man was made by God for God. The purpose of Man is to be united with God. But sin separates Man from God. A sinful man cannot enter the presence of God. The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. No human being can ever approach God because of his or her sinfulness. And this enormous problem of separation was solved by the Lord Jesus Christ when He died for the sins of humanity. At that moment He removed the curtain between us and God. So no longer is Man separated from God. Jesus Christ has thus united God and Man.

We are now sinless. God regards us as sinless because He who was not sin became sin for our sakes, and since He became our sin we became His righteousness. Jesus is righteous. He is the Son of God. When He came down to earth He was most certainly the only righteous man who ever lived. And when He died for us as a righteous man He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins. And thus our sins have been wiped away. And because they have been wiped away we are seen as sinless by God, even though we may still sin for we are still in the flesh, and as long as we remain in the flesh, we will sin.
