“The essence of sin is man substituting himself for God,
while the essence of salvation is God substituting Himself for man. Man asserts
himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God
sacrifices himself for man and puts Himself where only man deserves to be. Man
claims prerogatives which belong to God alone; God accepts penalties which
belong to man alone." (John Stott, The Cross of Christ, p. 160).
