Better than unfallen humanity
To put it simply, the Lord’s Atonement does more than fix the celestial books and balance the scales of justice and mercy. It even does more than forgive our sins. It rehabilitates, regenerates, renews, and transforms human nature. Christ makes us better, worlds better, than we would have been had there been no Fall. Redeemed humanity will rise far higher hereafter than any unfallen humanity might have done.
