We discuss the significance of Christ Jesus as the second person of the Godhead. His death was necessary, He alone provides a path to God and salvation, and people must accept Jesus to have eternal life. Atonement was necessary for all the sins anyone has committed. Because God is holy, He must act in judgment towards sin. If God were to overlook sin that would make Him imperfect and ultimately we would be allowed to do whatever we want. This would undercut the authority of God.
