Why is the holiness of God emphasized at the cross?

Answered in 1 source

The holiness of God is emphasized at the cross because it reveals God’s justice against sin and His unwillingness to compromise His righteousness.

At the cross, the holiness of God is profoundly displayed, demonstrating His justice and righteous character in dealing with sin. The sermon highlights that God bruised His Son, making Him a sin offering (Isaiah 53:10), which indicates His absolute intolerance towards sin. God’s holiness demands that sin must be punished, and this was accomplished in Christ’s crucifixion. The sacrifice of Jesus was not merely an act of love but a necessary fulfillment of God’s justice, showing that while God is merciful, He is also just. Therefore, the cross stands as a testimony to the depth of God’s holiness and His commitment to redeem a people without compromising His standards.
