The two parts of justice needed to be right w/God: 1) active justice/removal of corruption in re: to our behavior (what we must do) = obedience to the Law/righteous practice/repentance/cleansing thru punishment – Pro 20:30, 2) passive justice/removal of contamination in re: to our spirit (what God must do) = sacrifice according to the Law/atonement/forgiveness/pardon/propitiation/cleansing thru substitution – Eph 2:13-14).\nGod doesn’t punish His food (28:1 – “My food for my food offerings, my pleasing aroma” = He w/happiness becomes our sin-eater so that our position before Him can become clean and His disposition toward us that of Friend). In this light then consider: Is Christ’s death penal? Did Jesus in His death pay the penalty for our sin OR like the OT sacrificial animals, become the vessel to carry/destroy the stain/contamination our sins thru death – after we repented/paid the penalty/did justice (Luk 19:1-10; Lev 6:1-7 w/Mat 5:23-24 w/Exo 34:7 = God doesn’t give pardon/passive justice w/o active justice being served by us. Hence the reason we must repent to receive forgiveness).\nEquity: 1) means that God’s inheritance is the same for both men and women (27:4-11; 1Pe 3:7), 2) does not mean the same thing as equality (These verses establish equity [everyone is treated fairly], but not equality [everyone is treated the same]; e.g. women cannot be pastors – though they are equal heirs of the grace of life; 1Ti 2:12-15).\nThough applications change, the principal established by God’s Word (i.e. the “spirit of the law”) must be preserved (27:1-11).\nAn...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UXGjftzm8Yw--IISwUKe6A6-CX1YtARptisfLmFJFoI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81Zjc4/MmNmNTMxZjNmOTgw/YjA1NWRhYmMxMTNl/YmE1Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
