Can the law that the soul that sins must die be compromised?
No. Scripture states the soul that sinneth shall surely die, and this is a law of God that cannot be compromised. Its demand for death is satisfied through the shedding of blood, for without shedding of blood there is no remission, a demand fulfilled in Christ's death.
Les explains that the soul that sinneth shall surely die is a law of God that cannot be compromised. He points to Hebrews 9:22, where without the shedding of blood there is no remission, and says this is where the death of Christ comes in, fulfilling God's demand that blood be shed for the soul that sinneth. He further pairs this with Hebrews 11:6, calling it an unalterable attribute: without faith it is impossible. These cannot be compromised; a person either accepts them or rejects them. Paul constantly reminds us of the work of the cross: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and arose again.
