A Modernist does11 t believe in the sub– sti tu tio11ary death of Christ because he never has een the necessity for such a death. An e, ,olutioni t doesn't be– lie e in the resurrection of Christ be– cause he has 11e er seen any reaso11 for a resurrection. v\Thy do I belie e in the ghastly fact of sin? Why do I believe in the validity of the third chapter of Genesis? I believe iI1 it because I don't belie e that the record of the Incar11atio11 and its consequences is fiction. THEO LY REMEDY The Incarnation affi1ms the fact of sin. The I11carnatio11 is premised 011 the fact of sin. The fact of sin is the only explanation of the fact of the Incarnation. The fact of sm is the only explanation of the entrance into the ,vorld of the Middle Man. The great central fact of this Bible is the fact of sin. The next great central fact of this Bible is the fact of reden1ption from sin. The Bible, in both the Old and ew Testaments, declares that there is but one remedy for sin: the sheddiI1g of blood. All the prophets of the Old Testament declare this. John the Baptist de– clares it. Our Lord Jest1s Christ said: "For this is my blood of the 11e,v testament, which is shed for many for the remission [forgiveness 1 of sins." And we read, ".. . without shedding of blood is no remission.' ' If tl1is be true, then any sensible p erson must sur ely know that only sin- 1ess blood could ever atone for sinft1l lJlood. If there must b e an offering of blood, then the blood 1nust come from the eins of a spotless sacrifice. Then, if the Bible is right 011 the <111estion , \,,]1 ere are yo11 going to get the spotless sacrifice for the sins of the \\ or1c1? 111 a ll the ages of history tl1e race h ,1s 11e\ 1 er clevelop ecl a spot– less cl1ar,1cter. If y<J ll are goi11g to l1,1ve s11c·l1 a sacrifice, 11 wil l h av to c<Jme f1 om ,vitl1ol1t the h111na11 race. Ali, tl1e Bil)lc makes se11se.
