A loving Father letting His Son die on the Cross?

"What kind of God (Father) sends His Son to such a horrific death to satisfy His own sense of justice? Why does Jesus have to die to save us from our sins?"

I know most of us had those questions ringing in our minds, and that at some point in time we got  a little confused.

Most of the people only understand one side of God . We always see and hear the very famous "God loves you" wherever we go. Yes, we can never take out the fact that He is really a loving God. 
His love for us is beyond understanding. It is eternal, incomparable, unchanging, unending and unconditional.
But we cannot also take out the fact that God is JUST. God is so holy that He could not let sin go unpunished. He can't even take a look at sin. He is a God of justice that He cannot just let the filthy things of this world get in the way of His beautiful and precious creation, US-- you and me. Since He is holy and just, He could not let sin go unpunished. Since He is also loving, He could not let men be eternally separated from Him.

We must understand that God did not do this just because He wanted to satisfy His own sense of justice, but actually to show His love for you and me. I believe that once we understand both attributes of God, we can appreciate and marvel more on what God has done in our lives.

In Reading and studying the scripture, Romans 3:25 and the Apologetic Bible provided several points about the questions that was written at the first part of this blog:

1.) Actually, Jesus' death on the cross was not involuntarily. He gave His life voluntarily (John 10:14-18). Also, He was the only one qualified for this sacrificial death on the cross because of his sinless life. We all have sinned (Romans 3:23), not even one is blameless and spotless.

2.) We sometimes think that God the Father and the Holy Spirit was not in the picture when Jesus was being crucified on the cross. The Triune God, not just Jesus is involve in this world's suffering. The Father and Spirit were not detached but were intimately involved with the Son's suffering.

3.) As I said in this blog, God's holiness and and sin's offensiveness to such perfect, unsullied, personal being. Sin elicits his just, wrath response the removal of all traces of sinners and sin. In short, HE REALLY CANNOT STAND SIN.

4.) God's limitless love for His human creatures made in His own image and likeness was displayed on what happened on the cross. In love, God acted to save those who trust Him.

To sum this all up, our God is a loving and a just God at the same time. We cannot take away one from the other. I believe that trusting Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength will help us understand Him more. His love is beyond compare, and as we draw ourselves near Him, we will appreciate what He has done for us and the whole mankind.
