Drich, you are doing good, but I would like to 2 cents:
Because God is perfectly just, the scales of justice require a payment for injustice.
Only a perfect being can redeem an imperfect one.
The imperfect one, having his own debt cannot redeem himself.
If you owe a million dollars and you do not have it- your only shot is letting someone else pay it for you.
If you refuse the offer of payment- you have to pay the penalty.
It is an issue of justice.
And in this case, the Judge paid our pardon, but we are required to take it, or the pardon is left on the table and does not belong to us.
