How can God be just and justify sinners?
God can be just and justify sinners because Christ's blood was divine, having all the power of the Eternal Godhead, and was presented in Heaven. Through faith in that blood, God declares His own righteousness, not ours, for the remission of sins, so He remains absolutely fair while justifying those who believe.
Les explains that God can be just and justify sinners because the blood of Jesus was divine. Since God was the Father, the blood system of a fetus does not come from the mother but from the Father, so even though Jesus was born of a human mother, He had no human blood. His blood was divine, originated in God, and had all the power of the Eternal Godhead. That blood was presented in the very throne room of Heaven. Through faith in His blood, God declares His righteousness, none of ours, for the remission of sins that are passed, through the forbearance, mercy, and grace of God. Thus God is just, absolutely fair, in justifying those who believe, and it is all based on His finished work.
