What God did

I read this quote somewhere and saved it. I thought you might appreciate it. I suspect a number of my readers don't know this and may find it interesting.

"Ponder the achievement of God. He doesn't condone sin, nor does he compromise his standard. He doesn't ignore our rebellion, nor does he relax his demands. Rather than dismiss our sin, he assumes our sin and, incredibly, sentences himself. God's holiness is honored. Our sin is punished...and we are redeemed. God does what we cannot do so we can be what we dare not dream: perfect before God."

Ephesians 2:5 says, "Though we were spiritually dead because of the things we did against God, he gave us new life with Christ." God's solution is not to preserve dead people and somehow keep you going but to raise you from the dead.
