What does the Bible say about condemning sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God condemned sin through Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and faced condemnation in our place.

The Scriptures affirm that what the law could not achieve due to human weakness, God accomplished by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. Romans 8:3 states that Jesus condemned sin in the flesh, meaning He took the guilt and penalty of sin upon Himself, offering redemption for His people. This act demonstrates that God does not overlook sin, but rather fulfills His justice through Christ's atonement, allowing believers to be justified and sanctified before Him.

Furthermore, Jesus' suffering was not a mere example of love but a substitutionary act meant to satisfy God's righteous judgment. He bore the full weight of the wrath due to sin, as seen in Isaiah 53:5, where it declares that by His stripes we are healed. The reality of condemnation and the nature of redemption are rooted deeply in this understanding that Christ took on sin for His elect, securing their salvation and granting them eternal life.
