Introduction During this course, several topics were analyzed and given new meanings and perspectives. Having welcomed Christ into your heart does not mean that the knowledge of Christianity will suddenly appear or pour into your mind. It takes time and study to grasp the concepts, especially two topics in general. The first topic is the death of Christ, the purpose and results of his sacrifice. The second theme is the nature of sin, which has its roots in the fall of man. First part The death of Christ As a Christian, also to have and spread the Gospel, it is important to know what the meaning of Christ's death is and what it entails . Everyone has heard the story of Jesus being born of a virgin in a manger to be the Savior of the world. What is usually misunderstood is the purpose of his coming. It was not just up to him to perform miracles, preach, heal and save lives in the name of God. His purpose was to be propitiation, "an offering that wards off the wrath of God directed against sin" (Etzel & Gutierrez, 2013, p133). He rose from the dead but without his death there would have been no redemption through blood, reconciliation, judgment on the nature of sin, or basis for forgiveness of sins committed before the cross. Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve others, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Veerman, 2004, p.1013). The blood of Christ was symbolic of substitutionary death and being “washed in the blood” meant that there had been a final atonement for sin. As a Christian, you recognize and have received the truth of what Jesus did on the cross at Calvary, especially the shedding of his blood. 1 John 4:10 “This is true love: not that we love God, but that he loves… middle of paper… does evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sin nature desires” (Veerman, 2004, p.1190). Conclusion The death of Christ and the sinful nature correspond to each other. It takes everything necessary - time, patience, study, professional advice - to understand what each of these topics means. This course revealed more about the death of Christ and the nature of sin than any church sermon or other course. Jesus' death is more than just him dying on a cross, it is him dying for our sins so that his people don't have to. The sin nature is how humans are born, in sin. Because of Christ's death, sin is washed away if we choose to believe what results in his death, but that does not mean we are no longer capable of sinning. Until we are no longer human, sin will always be a part of life.
