God made his Son to \u201cbe sin\u201d so that any sinner could \u201cbecome the righteousness of God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bible reveals that our Lord bore the sin of the world by identifying himself with sin, not by sympathizing with it. He deliberately took the whole massed sin of humankind and placed it on his own shoulders; he bore that sin in his own being. By doing this, he redeemed all of humanity, rehabilitating it and putting it back where God designed it to be. Now, thanks to what Jesus Christ did on the cross, anyone can enter into union with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human beings cannot redeem themselves. Redemption is God\u2019s work, and it is work that has already been done; it\u2019s finished and complete. How individuals experience redemption is a question of their individual choices. A distinction must always be made between the revelation of redemption, which applies equally to all, and the conscious experience of salvation in an individual\u2019s life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sin is a fundamental relationship.
