What did God determine about paying for our sins?
God determined that the payment for sin required the sacrificial death of Himself on our behalf. In His knowledge and understanding, He is the one who determined that the Creator God, a member of the Godhead, would die on the cross for us.
Les explains that in His knowledge and understanding, God determined that sin's payment had to be the sacrificial death of Himself on our behalf. He emphasizes that Jesus Christ, as He died on that cross, was the Creator Himself, a member of the Godhead. Les also recounts how Martin Luther struggled over Psalm 110:1—'The Lord said unto my Lord, Come sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool'—until he realized it was God crying out to God, because Christ is God. This confirms that the One who paid for sins was none other than God Himself.
