GOD IS FAITHFUL
"God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:9
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
"He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it." 1Thessalonians 5:24
"If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." 2 Timothy 2:13
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 on 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.
