Creator God is holy: He cannot abide with less, anywhere. So, way back in time, God of Heaven created a Plan of the Ages. From the very start – He knew we would fail to be the people of perfection He wanted. So, even before the actual creation, He had a plan as to how He could legally forgive sinners. His own Son would become a legal “stand-in” to take our place in Heaven’s courtroom. And the rest is history!
