This grace is not a mere emotional feeling in the heart of the Holy One. Rather, it is a love based on judicial rights. God cannot forgive whomever he wills, because the sinner's sin requires his immediate death. However, Christ's substitutionary crucifixion in our place has fulfilled all righteousness.
Mungu hawezi kumsamehe yeyote yule anayetaka hivi hivi, kwa sababu makosa ya mwenye dhambi inadai kifo papo hapo. Ila, kusulubishwa kwa Kristo badala yetu imetimiza madai yote ya haki ya sheria.
