"If God were not just, there would be no demand for His Son to suffer and die. Yet, if God were not loving, there would be no willingness for His Son to suffer and die. But, God is both just and loving. Therefore, God's love is willing to meet the demands of His justice." ~ John Piper based on Gal 3.13; Rom 3.28; 1 John 4.10
While I appreciate penal substitution deniers for helping me see that not all I thought supported the idea was correct, they have failed (in my mind) to deal with explicit Scripture dealing with this. And more so, the beauty of how this fits with the whole of who I understand God to be.
