A lot of times our Western Christian friends present salvation as: Well, God has these laws, we’ve broken those laws, so he’s angry at us or he’s compelled by his attribute of justice—he has to punish those violations of the Law—so Christ comes to save us from that; so God has to save us from himself or save us from one of his attributes, save us from his own justice. But that’s not what the Scriptures say; the Scriptures say that Christ came to save us from our sins, because our sins are destroying us, our sins are turning us into this demonic monsters if we keep going down that path.
