How does Christ's sacrifice relate to God's declaration of no fury?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's sacrifice fully satisfied God's justice, allowing Him to declare, 'Fury is not in me' toward His people.
The relationship between Christ’s sacrifice and God’s declaration that 'Fury is not in me' is foundational in Reformed theology. When Jesus bore our sins, He endured the full brunt of God's wrath in our place, satisfying divine justice completely. This act of substitution means that for those united with Christ, God's fury is no longer directed at them. Rather, His wrath has been spent on Jesus, ensuring that believers are viewed as righteous in God’s eyes. Thus, Christians can find peace and assurance in their relationship with God, knowing they stand justified through Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice.
