What do the scriptures say about mountains in relation to sin?

In Scripture, mountains often symbolize barriers that stand between us and God, as indicated in Matthew when Jesus speaks of moving mountains through faith. These mountains exemplify our sin, which has distinctly separated humanity from the holy presence of God. However, the true hope lies in Christ, who by His atoning work on the cross, removes these barriers and grants believers access to God. Mountains, in this sense, also represent human pride and self-righteousness that the Lord will humble, bringing the proud low while raising the humble, thus illustrating His work of grace in salvation.
