By Christian standards, it was the moment we were forgiven of our sins and the gap between us and God was closed. But how did it work? For example, through what process did His death achieve this feat? Well, to answer this question, you must keep in mind that God is omnipotent. He can do whatever he wants and does not have to conform to the laws of nature and physics, as we understand them. So whether Christ's death served as a literal mechanism in our forgiveness or was just a symbol representing what God was doing is beyond us. We can all say with certainty that through His life, we have grown closer to God in Christ. And, of course, when we say that we are “in Christ” we do not mean that we are physically in Him. It means several things. We mean that our spirit resides in His protection and control. To be "in Christ" means that we have accepted His sacrifice for our sins. We recognize that, without Him, there would be no path to God and that we are all condemned to eternity
