God dealt with sin for three main reasons: (1) Sin is breaking God's law and His holy nature requires judgment of sin; (2) Sin originates from within humans and damages relationships, separating humans from God; (3) In order to redeem and reconcile humans, God sent his son Jesus to die for sins so that those who believe may be restored to a righteous relationship with God. The document explores how sin affects humans and their relationship with God, and how God addressed sin through Jesus to save people and bring them back to Him.
