“If you, LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
That you may be feared” (Psalm 130:3-4).
With all the players in place, we may now continue the story that is the doctrine of salvation. And it is a story. A good God created a good world and created humans in his image to manage and govern their new home. He gave them everything they needed, but they rebelled against him.
So God became a man for the purpose of putting right what they had broken. He made a way for rebellious humans to be forgiven and reconciled to God.
How does that work? How can God put it all behind him? How can humans be healed? How does that fix our brokenness?
That is the topic of this next section, the Doctrine of Salvation.
