Jesus Took Our Punishment in Our Behalf So That We Could Be His Obedient Children ㅡ

 “Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

 (Titus 2:14)

 God could not alter one jot or tittle of His holy law to meet man in his fallen condition; for this would reflect discredit upon the wisdom of God in making a law by which to govern heaven and earth.

But God could give His only-begotten Son to become man’s Substitute and Surety, to suffer the penalty that was merited by the transgressor, and to impart to the repentant soul His perfect righteousness.

Christ became the sinless sacrifice for a guilty race, making men prisoners of hope, so that through repentance toward God because they had broken His holy law, and through faith in Christ as their Substitute, Surety, and righteousness, they might be brought back to loyalty to God and to obedience to His holy law.

 (Faith and Works 117)
