How was Jesus Christ alone able to accomplish this “just” deliverance for sinners weighed down by their great and heavy burden? Romans 3:25-26 gives us the answer. “Whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”

To begin, the deliverance the sinner experiences from his great and heavy burden caused by his sin is a deliverance apart from human works. Vs. 21a. “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law.”

Following Jesus: The Progress of the Pilgrim.

How can the sinner be delivered from his great and heavy burden? God has wisely stated in I Corinthians 1:18 that deliverance is found in the message or the Word of the Cross. What exactly is this Word of the Cross? This is what the Apostle Paul says in Romans 3:21-26.

Ultimately, why did God choose to relieve man of the great and heavy burden of his sin the way He chose to do so? What is the ultimate reason for God’s wisdom in the word of the cross? God reveals the reason for the word of the cross in I Corinthians 1:26-31.

In light of this conflict between the Word of the Cross and the world, we see that these two opposing world views do not demonstrate an equal dichotomy of good vs. evil. Rather, the Apostle Paul explains that God’s wisdom is all powerful and will conquer and can overcome the wisdom of the world.
