...and that's only the beginning...they both fail to understand that even if you make restitution to every person you offend in life, that?s good, but your of fences are **also against the Creator** not only against other people. All your restitution, denial, human goodness or religious obedience will ever absolve **even one of fence** against the infinite, eternal, just Creator! You need a bigger sacrifice, a bigger payment -- much bigger -- than your lifetime could ever produce. Only Your Creator could provide a sacrifice that big ~ which made it necessary for the Creator to beget Another who (like an earthly father & son) would share His **same nature & substance**. Only that begotten Son, fully God the Son, could provide the big enough payment to satisfy the infinite, eternal, perfectly just demands of your Creator - your Father in Heaven.
No earthly judge would accept an innocent person to suffer for a guilty person ? no earthly judge would ? but your Father in Heaven offered and is willing to accept Jesus? sufferings for the punishment your sins deserve; you would be very foolish to refuse, even if a sacrifice like that dozen?t seem to ?make sense?! You were created in love to respond to the love your Father in Heaven proved He has for you; but love also demands justice. Your Creator is merciful and loving; but also just; perfectly, absolutely just. In an astonishing act of grace (undeserved favor) He provided the way for your of fences against Him to be removed, when you confess your sins to Him and ask His forgiveness; He will! Then turn from them proving your repentance is real. Trust that His Son Jesus provided the only payment big enough for your sins against took the punishment your sins deserved, on His cross (aka ?believing in Jesus?). I have done this; so can you.
