⚖️ Why Must Sin Be Judged? Understanding God's Holiness and Our Salvation

🗡️ This Family Sunday Lesson was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at 10:00 am. 🗡️

Have you ever wondered why a loving God must judge sin? This powerful sermon breaks down one of the most important theological truths every believer needs to understand—the judgment of sin and Christ's finished work on the cross.

In this message on biblical judgment and atonement, Pastor Fortunato explains why God's holiness demands that sin be punished, and how Jesus Christ became the perfect solution to our sin problem. Using Ecclesiastes 12:14 as the foundation, this teaching walks through the death penalty for sin, the wages of sin, and God's incredible plan of redemption.

What You'll Learn:

Discover the biblical difference between expiation (removing our sin), propitiation (satisfying God's wrath), and reconciliation (restoring our relationship with God). Through powerful passages in Isaiah 53, Ezekiel 18, and 1 John, you'll understand why the blood of Christ was necessary and how the atonement covers everything we need for salvation.

This sermon includes an unforgettable object lesson where children demonstrate how sin separates us from God, how Jesus took our sin upon Himself at the cross, and how His sacrifice satisfies the wrath of God while removing the barrier between sinners and their Creator. Perfect for families, this biblical teaching on sin and forgiveness makes complex theology accessible to all ages.

Whether you're studying the doctrine of atonement, seeking to understand God's righteousness and judgment, or wanting to grow deeper in your appreciation for what Christ accomplished on Calvary, this message will strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of salvation.

📖 Key Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 12:14, Isaiah 53:5-6, Ezekiel 18:4, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 9:22, 1 John 2:2, 1 John 4:10
