God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
God has morally sufficient reasons for the existence of evil that flow from His infinite wisdom. All things take place either by God's prescription or permission, and in perfect accordance with His sovereign purposes and unfathomable judgments (Rom. 11:33-36) (Rick Holland).
Our faith itself, though it be the bond of our union with Christ through which we receive all His blessings, is not our saviour. We have but one Saviour; and that one Saviour is Jesus Christ our Lord. Nothing that we are and nothing that we can do enters in the slightest measure into the ground of our acceptance with God. Jesus did it all.
