What is sin? What is guilt? What is forgiveness? These questions are dealt with in this basic text of the EKD from the perspective of a Protestant doctrine of the human being (anthropology). Their answer touches on the core message of the Reformation: the justification of the sinner. From a Christian perspective, sin and guilt cannot be spoken of without perceiving them in the light of God’s forgiveness. Behind sin lies the misery of being distant from God, which often enough leads to concrete guilt. No area of life is free of experiences with guilt and sin. Forgiveness does not make sin undone, but it does make new beginnings possible. A life of faith in the liberating power of the gospel motivates people to pass on forgiveness to others. With this text, the Chamber of Theology of the EKD supplements its text on the theology of the cross Died for us from the year 2015.
