From our devotional read earlier
this week –
“All sin occurs in the
divine human-context, so all transgression is sin against our infinitely holy
Creator. This means that all sins incur
an infinite and, therefore, unpayable debt.
Finite people lack all capacity to repay an infinite debt. No amount of good deeds, worship (etc.)…will
ever be enough to pay the debt we have incurred. One reason hell is eternal is that sin
against infinity deserves infinite punishment…. We cannot hope to repay the
infinite debt we owe to God, so we must rely on an infinitely worthy person to
do it for us. That person is the Son of
God, who, having taken on a human nature, satisfies the infinite debt we owe to
the Lord. “ (Tabletalk - May 27, 2014)
