Millpond Ink Musing, 2015 – Of Souls and Soles
As creatures who will one day be judged by an almighty and just God, all were condemned and faced everlasting judgment. Of course, a person might ask, ‘Why everlasting? Why not for a few hundred thousand years? A million, if you’re pushing it, but assuming that what you say is true, my sins were not infinite. Though many, my sins were not without number.’
This is where we don’t fathom God’s glory. Even one sin; just one slight by a man is an eternal blight against God’s perfection and righteous holiness! Though finite in number to us in the flesh, sin is an infinite offense as it was attached to an eternal soul; as dirt on the shoe. It must be carried somewhere! To bring such filth into His house? Never!
But give all praise and glory to God that in His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, His life was of infinite worth, and through His death, He satisfied His Father’s infinite wrath. In a single moment and cry, ‘My God, My God, why have You Forsaken Me,’ God the Father was both just and justifier; judge and advocate. And by covering those who repented of their sins with His precious blood, we can now enter His house with clean hands and washed feet.
