Only Jesus

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship
of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9
Today's Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.
The question remains, “How can God be just—that is, true to Himself in nature and true to Himself in holiness—and yet justify the sinner?” Because each man had to bear his own sins, all mankind was excluded from helping, since each was contaminated with the same disease. The only solution was for an innocent party to volunteer to die physically and spiritually as a substitution before God. This innocent party would have to take man’s judgment, penalty, and death. But where was such an individual? Certainly, there was none on earth. There was only one possibility. God’s own Son was the only personality in the universe who had the capacity to bear in His own body the sins of the world. Only God’s Son was infinite and thus able to die for all. In the Lord Jesus Christ, God's justice was fully satisfied and His grace freely extended, so that He could be both just and the justifier of the one who believes on Jesus.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, Lamb of God, in adoration I thank You for the love that made You willing to suffer and die on the cross for my sin. Amen.
