No Other Way

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up." -John 3:14 [KJV]

The deliverance of sinners from the claims of divine justice was dependent upon Christ bringing in everlasting righteousness for them by the sacrifice of Himself, therefore the Savior said to Nicodemus,"even so must the Son of Man be lifted up." It was in this way the demands of God’s law would be upheld and all the sins of those people entrusted to the Surety before the world began would be taken away, never to be remembered again. Those who insist that sinners can, by will, worth or work, make themselves acceptable to God, render the death of Christ needless and ineffectual."If righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain" (Galatians 2:21). Jonathan Edwards said, "If there be ground for you to trust in your righteousness, then all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it, is in vain." Our salvation was conditioned upon the faithfulness of Christ to fulfill His covenant obligation and give His life a ransom for many. There was no other way for a holy God to save sinners.
