Most people believe that God's forgiveness of our sins is the result of a combination of grace and mercy on God's part. While God certainly has those capacities, the problem arises when we speak of God's holiness. In holiness, there can be no defilement. This is God's nature. This is why we are born into the world separated from God. Here is the miracle: We are born separated from Him, but He makes a way for reconcilation to occur. How? By slaying His own Son at the Cross at Calvary. Only a perfect sacrifice can be sufficient for an all-powerful and all-holy God to reconcile to sinful man. The result is that sin only needs to be paid for once which is through the atonement of Christ on the Cross.
Father, You did for us that which we cannot do for ourself. You made way for us a reconcilation which will go into eternity. Keep our hearts and minds on this as we live our daily lives. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
