Sin is humanity’s biggest problem, and Jesus came to solve that problem. “You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin” (1 John 3:5 NASB). God takes sin seriously, and so should we. In “appearing,” God identified with sinners. He “became flesh” (John 1:14). In His life Jesus modeled perfect obedience to God, and in His death He atoned for humankind’s sin. The result of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection is that God makes sinners holy when they trust Jesus Christ
