How can He create a world filled with evil and sin? Part 2

v.24: The Lord now tells us what He did prior to creation, the sacrifice of His Son as the Lamb of God. This single act allows several God to do several things:

1. Reveal all His attributes including grace.

2. Reveal His reconciliation plan.

3. Reveal His Redeemer.

v. 25 God tells us the requirements to execute this purpose, His own blood signaling the righteous payment for sin and the only acceptable payment for sin. The sacrifice of Christ prior to creation allowed God to do two things:

1. "Demonstrate His righteousness," that is to reveal to the angels and mankind that it does not matter upon whom I (God) see sin, the soul that sin MUST DIE! Even if that soul is ME. God placed my sin upon Himself then executed Himself as if He committed my sin for the sole purpose of demonstrating to all creation the righteous judgment upon the sinner irrespective of who it is. Why? Why would the Lord go to such extremes? See bullet #2.

2. "Because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed," What in the world does that mean? It means, that since God had sacrificed and raised from the dead Christ before creation, He was able to reveal His attribute of forbearance and longsuffering with the sinner. How did God do that? God did that by "passing over your sins, my sins, the angels sins, and every other human that has and will ever live on this earth sins.

Did God pay for everyone's sins? NO! That's not what He said. God paid the price for FORBEARANCE to keep Himself FROM KILLING US ALL AT CONCEPTION due to our own sin.

To execute this plan and purpose God had to allow sin to enter His creation therefore the remedy for sin was enacted prior to creation, otherwise God being holy could not have allowed nor ever looked upon sin nor sinners, angels or humans.

Well, when was there sins that were previously committed and who committed them? To understand this, we must read the scriptures through the eyes of God meaning without time. When was my sin committed in the eyes of God? Today, yesterday, at conception? Of course not. My sins were always before the LORD God, He inhabits eternity hence the payment for my sin had to be made by someone who is also ETERNAL AND ETERNALLY RIGHTEOUS LIKE GOD. The Lord explains this in the next verse, verse 26.
