How do we know Christ heals the breach caused by sin?
Answered in 1 source
Christ heals the breach by fulfilling the requirements of God's justice through His sacrificial death.
Christ has healed the breach created by sin through His atoning sacrifice. The sermon explains that, to restore our relationship with God, justice must first be satisfied — a task only Christ could accomplish. By taking on human nature, Jesus became the substitute for His people, absorbing the wrath and judgment for sin that God rightfully held against us. This means that God turned to us not in anger, but in mercy, providing a way for His holy justice to be satisfied. Isaiah 53 encapsulates this healing by proclaiming that by His stripes we are healed, affirming that through Christ, we are brought back into acceptable fellowship with God.
