There is a Provision

---

In the riches of God's mercy He has made a provision for sinners like you and I.  It is not an opportunity for us to redeem ourselves by our own merits, deeds, or religious zeal and piety.  It is not that God is willing to override His perfect righteousness with love and forgiveness, so that as long as we try to be worthy of His love, and not do anything too bad, He will - in the end - accept us into His eternal kingdom.

​God has made a provision for sinners that fully satisfies His perfect justice, a provision that instead of distorting or diminishing His holiness - actually confirms, and magnifies it.  (Romans 3:24-26)

​It was not only God's righteousness that was demonstrated in Christ's death, but also His perfect love.  (Romans 5:8, I John 4:10)

This is not something God was forced to come up with once the seriousness of our plight became obvious.  It is a provision of His grace that He had predestined in flawless detail before the foundation of the world.  (II Timothy 1:9)

God's provision for sinners is in the sinless perfection, and atoning sacrificial death of His own Beloved Son.  (Hebrews 9:14-15)

God became flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.  (John 1:14)

Jesus - God's Christ - lived a sinless life in a sin-cursed world.  He was tempted in every way we are, yet remained pure.  (Hebrews 4:14-15)

Having given many evidences of His own deity, and having declared Himself to be the only real hope for hopeless sinners - He willingly laid down His life in humble subjection to death on a Roman cross, so that God's righteousness could be satisfied in Him - on our behalf.  (John 10:11, II Corinthians 5:21, I Peter 2:24)
