THE TRUE PROBLEM WITH SIN

What if the lines we’ve repeated for years—sin separates you from God, sin is a stench, God can’t be near sin—aren’t what Scripture actually teaches? We pull those quotes apart line by line, sit them next to the story the Bible tells, and follow the thread through Isaiah 59, Genesis 1, Psalm 139, Romans 5, and 2 Corinthians 5. The picture that emerges is not a fragile or distant God but a Father who moves toward distortion to restore it, a Christ who eats with sinners and touches lepers, and a Spirit who makes his home in us.
