We no longer must hide like Adam did but we can stand in God’s presence because of the sacrifice of Jesus. Not only can we approach God, but we can also approach him without guilt because our sins have been cleansed because of Jesus. One of the ways the world drastically changed when Jesus died for our sins is that he gave us access to the Father and the presence of God. Even when God established the temple, access to his presence was only granted to the high priest and even that could only happen once per year. If you recall when Adam and Eve were removed from the garden there was an angel placed there which blocked their access to the garden. Prior to Jesus dying for our sins, our relationship with the Father was broken or maybe incomplete is a better word. The most important thing Jesus did was die for our sins which opened the door for our salvation. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." – Mark 15:37-38 "With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. Jesus opened the door for access to the Father. I will admit upfront that some of these things are only noticeable to those who have a relationship with Jesus. It is easy to say that Jesus changed the world but let’s go a step further and identify four ways the world drastically changed when Jesus died for our sins. Without him coming and accomplishing what he did in his thirty-three years of earthly life, the world would be a different place than we know it.
There is no one in the history of the world who did that. When you consider Jesus, you must acknowledge there is no other person who was born of a virgin, who claimed to be God, who came to die for other people’s sin, who died for them, and then who rose from the dead. You can ask just about anyone, and they will have an opinion about who Jesus is, whether their opinion is right or wrong. I should probably add Jesus is likely the most controversial person to ever live as well. It goes without saying the most important person who has ever lived in all human history is Jesus Christ.
