It is seen as something that separates humans from God and creates a need for redemption.

Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection are central to the forgiveness of sins. By believing in Him and accepting His sacrifice, we know that we can be reconciled with God and have eternal life. Sin is not just about breaking rules but also about the broken relationship it causes between humanity and God. Redemption through faith in Jesus is the only way to restore that relationship.
