Never forsaken
God is an eternal God right?
When we sinned we sinned against an eternal God. That just God requires an eternal payment. Who is going to pay that payment? Us? For eternity?
Father-God loved us so much that He was pleased that Jesus, His son would take the place for that eternal payment. Jesus said he will never forsake us. This means for eternity, because He is an eternal God. Yet, God chose and must, for justice sake, turn away from Christ. For a period of time in Christ dying, the short period of our time, that human kind has authority over, and Christ transmuted His time for ours. Transmuted His righteousness for our sins. It is our choice; do we hang onto our own authority of time and sin, or give it up and accept the eternity of Christ time, Christ righteousness, to appease Father – God's justice.
