This is beautifully written. I also love how the book explains that to erase the debt without payment would make God unjust. Psalm 138:2 reminds us of this when it declares:
“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” (KJV)
God places His Word above His Name, meaning His justice and His truth cannot be compromised. He understands the full weight of atonement, the law, and everything required to satisfy the consequences of sin. And in His mercy, He abides by that standard — and in His justice, He pays the price Himself.
What a beautifully written piece and such an exciting reminder of how Christ stood in the gap for us and took God’s offenses upon Himself for our sake.
