What does the term 'devised means' refer to in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

'Devised means' refers to the methods God established to restore relationship with sinners through Christ.

'Devised means' in this context highlights God's intentional plan of redemption, where He has established ways in which His banished ones can return to Him. This is exemplified in the Gospel, where the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross becomes the ultimate means of reconciliation and restoration (1 Peter 3:18). Just as the cities of refuge provided safety for the accidental killer, Christ provides refuge for sinners. This reveals the depth of God’s love and His desire for relationship with us despite our sinfulness.
Scripture References: 2 Samuel 14:14, 1 Peter 3:18
