“Well, here’s the thing, and here’s why Jonathan Edwards does appeal to true followers of Christ; because true believers understand the magnitude of God’s mercy and grace only by understanding the gravity of their offense against Him.”
(The Dissenter) The entire purpose of the gospel is to glorify God in saving sinners from His wrath, to demonstrate His mercy and kindness juxtaposed against a backdrop of what would righteously be eternal damnation of all of our souls….
But in God’s wisdom, kindness, and grace, He decided to save those who would turn to His son Jesus, in faith, and trust in the saving work of His substitutionary atonement on the cross.
In other words, Jesus took the punishment that sinners deserved and in exchange, clothed us in His righteousness so that we could be seen as sinless in the eyes of the Father who sees His son in us. This way, we escape death.
