Some Communicable Attributes of God via Exo 34:5-7

"The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, 'The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.'" (Exodus 34:5-7)

Our God is a consuming fire of holiness, and I love it! Consider his holiness. Try to grasp for a moment, the everlastingly and wholly Holy One of Israel being merciful and gracious and slow to anger, and having steadfast love and faithfulness insomuch as to forgive iniquity and sin. What!? That doesn't even make sense! It isn't even right for God to do that! Unless of course, a more precious sacrifice has been given to assuage the justice of God. Behold Jesus, the infinitely precious One! How could the death of one man adequately pay for the sins of all men? Picture it like this: Take all the men from all time since the beginning of time, and place them on one side of a scale. Place Jesus alone on the other scale. Jesus out weighs them all!

He is the INFINITELY PRECIOUS ONE! God is pleased to consider his death more than adequate for all who trust in him. "The Just for the unjust" died, and now "God can be just in justifying the ungodly." I love it!
