In Order to Declare We Are Righteous, Jesus Died and Rose Again ㅡ
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” (Romans 6:23; 4:25)
Justice demands that sin be not merely pardoned, but the death penalty must be executed.
God, in the gift of His only-begotten Son, met both these requirements. By dying in man’s stead, Christ exhausted the penalty and provided a pardon.
Christ on the cross not only draws men to repentance toward God for the transgression of His law—for whom God pardons He first makes penitent—but Christ has satisfied Justice; He has proffered Himself as an atonement.
His gushing blood, His broken body, satisfy the claims of the broken law, and thus He bridges the gulf which sin has made.
He suffered in the flesh, that with His bruised and broken body He might cover the defenseless sinner.
The victory gained at His death on Calvary broke forever the accusing power of Satan over the universe and silenced his charges that self-denial was impossible with God and therefore not essential in the human family.
The righteousness of Christ is presented as a free gift to the sinner if he will accept it.
He has nothing of his own but what is tainted and corrupted, polluted with sin, utterly repulsive to a pure and holy God.
Only through the righteous character of Jesus Christ can man come nigh to God.
He arose from the tomb enshrouded with a cloud of angels in wondrous power and glory—the Deity and humanity combined.
He took in His grasp the world over which Satan claimed to preside as his lawful territory, and by His wonderful work in giving His life, He restored the whole race of men to favor with God.
