God is not a liar, so when the wages of sin are death, God meant it.
Someone was going to pay the penalty for sin. We’re all sinners and we all qualify for death.
In God’s laws He made an out for man. It was by no means an out for Himself. He sent His Son to die in our place. That’s love and we have a tendency on a regular basis to not be very lovable.
Romans 3:25-26- 25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
To be allowed to be back with God, Someone had to pay the price.
That’s where we stand today. Either you or He will die for your sins. If you die for them then you are forever cast into darkness for rejecting God. He paid the penalty and it’s free for the accepting. There are no excuses for those who won’t take two seconds to find truth.
God doesn’t have to go back on His ways, because someone greater than ourselves paid our penalty. He is still Just and Loving at the same time. We are justified through Him as long as we accept Him as Lord.
The wages of sin is death. We are so blessed that a loving God was willing to take our place. The rules of a perfect God cannot be broken. However, if one doesn’t accept His death in the place of their own and make Him Lord, they will follow through with the original setup.
That can be hard for some people to grasp who live in such an unjust and lenient society without absolutes.
