Understanding How Sin Impacts a Christian's Relationship with God

This exploration delves into the profound effects of sin on a Christian's spiritual life, referencing key scripture passages. It highlights how sin separates humanity from God (Isaiah 59:1-2) and leads to spiritual death (Ephesians 2:1; Romans 6:23). The discussion covers the process of dying to sin through obedience to the Gospel (Romans 6:1-3) and the comforting assurance of forgiveness and reconciliation found in Christ (Romans 5:10; Colossians 2:13; Romans 8:1). Additionally, it addresses the question of what happens if a Christian returns to sin, God's expectations, and the role of Christ's advocacy.
