Why do we need God to satisfy His own law?

Answered in 1 source

Only God can satisfy the demands of His law, which is fulfilled through Jesus' sacrificial death.

The problem of sin is that humanity, unable to meet God's perfect standards, faces the penalty of death. Therefore, only God has the capacity to satisfy His own law while also being just in punishing sin. This dual requirement led to God's incarnation as a man, Jesus Christ, who alone could fulfill the law's demands by living a sinless life and suffering the penalty on behalf of sinners. This truth underscores why salvation belongs to the Lord, as it is solely through Jesus Christ that we find righteousness and reconciliation with God.
