His death saves us

The spotless life of Christ and our approval of Him does not save us. Only His death can save the sinner. Only His death opens the way to God. His perfect life shuts us out. Because if what God demands is the life of Christ, I can’t reproduce it. I know that, friend. And anyone that’s honest knows they can’t. Now if that’s the minimum standard and He can only say of Him, “He is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,” then I must have another basis on which to come to God. But the minute that you and I come through the death of Christ, for that opened the way to God, and only the death can save a sinner.
