“Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:4-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Some things in life can’t be glued back together; at least, not easily. Sin violates God’s law, nature and ravages our soul.

“For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:3‬ ‭

Apart from Christ, in our sin, we’re lost in darkness and separated from God in ways that we can’t do anything about. Sin leads to death, as it fatally wounds the spirit and soul. But God has a plan for people broken by sin. He longs to heal us. Jesus took all of our wrongdoing on Himself at the cross. The purpose of Christ’s sacrificial death, His death in our place, was to deal with our sin. Christ’s wounds heal ours when we place your faith and trust in Him to forgive us.
