From our human perspective, it is typical to categorize laws into two distinct groups: one that applies to the divine and another that governs human behavior. In our attempts to evade accountability, we often dilute the standards set by the law, frequently shifting the blame onto others or finding excuses for our actions. Essentially, we compromise the integrity of the law by creating loopholes that allow us to escape responsibility. Yet, due to God's eternal and unchanging nature, there exists a necessity for a form of accountability that is equally eternal. A single infraction of divine law is not merely an error; it constitutes a lasting affront to a just and holy God. While we may hold our societal laws in high regard, when viewed through the lens of God's perspective on our moral failings, our legal system pales in comparison. In a sense, this earthly framework can be interpreted as a superficial attempt to placate a rebellious element within humanity through trivial and ineffective measures. At the moment of Christ's execution, he endured an excruciating and extended period of suffering, a physical manifestation of the immeasurable pain required to make amends for the transgressions of humanity. If God's ultimate goal had been to provide comfort rather than to impose punishment, He could have easily chosen a different path, one that did not involve crucifixion. After all, the unblemished life of Christ should have sufficed for the salvation of humankind. However, it was vital for Christ to experience profound suffering in order for the atonement to be recognized as complete and meaningful. Without the depth of his anguish, the repercussions of sin would remain inadequately addressed. Every single drop of his blood was of utmost importance for the purification from sin. If I cannot perceive my own struggles through the lens of Christ's immense suffering and find hope in that connection, then the doctrine of substitutionary atonement loses its significance and impact.
