God's justice demanded that I be forever separated from Him because of Adam's sin ( Romans 5:12-19 ). God's mercy and grace, however, provided a way that I could be rescued from perishing ( Salvation ). This plan of God's began to be foreshadowed as far back as the Garded of Eden when God provided a covering for Adam and Eve's sin, something that they tried to do and failed at ( the fig leaves ). Jesus' sacrifice that day on Golgotha satisfied God's holy demands of absolute perfection ( propitiation ) to the full. There is nothing to be added to this finished work at Calvary. When justice and mercy met at the foot of the cross, grace won out, and the captives were set free. Praise the Lord!
