Essay / Mere Christianity In Mere Christianity By CS Lewis
By Christian standards, it was the time when we were forgiven of our sins and the gap between us and God was bridged. But how did it work? For example, by what process did his death make it possible to accomplish this feat? Well, to answer this question you need to keep in mind that God is all-powerful. He can do whatever he wants and he does not have to conform to the laws of nature and physics, as we understand them. So whether Christ's death served as a literal mechanism in our forgiveness or whether it was simply a symbol representing what God was doing is beyond us. All we can say with certainty is that through his life we brought him to God in Christ. And of course, when we say we are “in Christ,” we do not mean that we are physically in Him. This means several things. We mean that our spirit resides under His protection and control. To be “in Christ” means that we have accepted His sacrifice for our sins. We recognize that without Him there would be no path to God and that we are all doomed to eternity.
