How does Christ's death relate to sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death atones for sinners, providing a way to be justified before God.

In Romans 5:8, we are told, 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This profound truth emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for all who recognize themselves as sinners in need of grace. His death serves as a substitutionary atonement that pays the penalty for our sins, making true reconciliation with God possible. The gospel affirms that it is not the righteous but those who see their sin who are called to salvation. Christ's work on the cross assures us that no one is beyond His mercy, as it is offered freely to all who come to Him as sinners.
