We are not merely damaged, but rather, we have been tainted in both body and spirit. It would be erroneous to assume that as sinners, we require continual forgiveness in order to attain inner harmony with God. However, it is undeniable that we are sinners, and if God were to hold our transgressions against us, we would have no grounds to make any requests of Him. It is worth noting that we can present a logical argument that God's actions appear reasonable, even though we lack the innocence required for forgiveness if God were to treat us justly. Despite our limited understanding compared to God's omniscience, we are encouraged to employ logic. By asserting that if God were to treat us justly, He would need to eradicate the entire human race, we acknowledge the necessity of our redemption.We are not necessarily seeking approval from the judicial system solely through continuously forgiving others, but rather by presenting logical arguments that demonstrate our understanding of the concept of moving from a lesser to a greater state. God acknowledges our vulnerability and imperfections, and therefore encourages us to openly express ourselves, knowing that we are merely mortal beings. He imparts this lesson to prevent us from mistakenly relying solely on our ability to confess our wrongdoings in order to receive His forgiveness. We are consistently enticed to contribute something in our attempt to present an offering to God. However, it is crucial to recognize that God's word is absolute and He has already accomplished everything on our behalf. Suggesting that our wrongdoing is justified by our inability to do good is essentially an argument that challenges the concept of God's covenant being freely bestowed upon us, wherein our weakness serves as His gift to demonstrate His faithfulness, kindness, patience, and gentleness. Hence, our sinful state can actually be seen as a means for us to attain holiness through substitution.
