Everything necessary to save us

Jesus Christ our Lord, moved by a love that was determined to do everything necessary to save us, endured and exhausted the destructive divine judgment for which we were otherwise inescapably destined, and so won us forgiveness, adoption and glory.

— J. I. Packer, quoted by John Stott in
The Cross of Christ
