Christian Concept of Sins – Shia Studies' World Assembly

Question: I have a Christian friend. He has asked me this question. I need your help so that I could reply to him. It would be grateful if you reply as soon as you can. Here’s the question:
I know that many of the beliefs that I hold as truth, you will find as strange. Specifically, Jesus’ role and how he enables us to have a personal relationship with God. Our sins are a barrier between us and God (I don’t know if you agree with that or not). But God is without sin and cannot abide in sin. In order to have a relationship with God, sin must be dealt with and removed.

The World Assembly of Shiite Studies was established in 2003 (1382 AH) by a group of scholars from seminaries and universities. The purpose of founding this independent academic institution was to introduce the school of Shi‘ism and defend its legitimacy through education, research, translation and publication, communications, and Islamic promotion. This center has continued its mission with strength and determination and envisions a bright future ahead.
