Christ died “for us” that, being justified/reconciled/ restored (to God), and saved from “wrath,” we shall be saved by His life.
[Rom 5:8-10]
Because “wrath” is God's “set disposition, or attitude against sin;” we need a Saviour (Kinsman Redeemer) to ransom us from the judgment ...for without shedding of blood is no remission/forgiveness of sin.
[Pastor; Rom 1:18; cf Ruth & Boaz; Heb 9:22]
Accordingly, God has chosen us before the foundation of the world; that we should be holy ('other,' like Him) and without blame before Him in Love. Yet it pleased the Lord (God) to bruise/or sacrifice Christ ...and make His soul an offering for our sin.
[Eph 1:4; Isa 53:10]
ThenSingsMySoul:
CRUCIFIED, LAID BEHIND A STONE;
HE LIVED TO DIE, REJECTED BY HIS OWN.
LIKE A ROSE TRAMPLED ON THE GROUND,
HE TOOK THE FALL AND THOUGHT OF (US)
ABOVE ALL!
