For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:3-4 God’s Law is a demanding Law. God is nothing if not just and His law demands that a price must be paid for sin. His Law is perfect. But people are not. There is no possible way that human beings (the flesh) can maintain a holy law without eventually failing. We are too weak. We can’t stand the strain. Just ask the Israelites who took 40 years to make an eleven-day journey. We get in our way. We stumble over our own feet. Nonetheless, God’s Law must be honored. There was a debt to be paid, but we were bankrupt. Obviously we couldn’t fulfill our part of the bargain, so Christ had to step in. In His perfection, He took the penalty we were supposed to pay upon Himself. He paid the price that we couldn’t pay, so that the requirements of the Law would be met. When we couldn’t, He did. He still does. Lord, I thank you for paying the price for me. There was no way that I could ever be made just by my own doing. Only You could do for me. I thank You for stepping up and taking the burden of my sin on Your own body. I honor Your sacrifice with my life. Amen. KJV Bible
