It occurs to me how much gobbledygook that last might sound like, so let me break it down a bit.
God is incredibly Holy. We, in and of ourselves, are not. We're just not. Think about it. No matter how good we try to be, we fall short. We might do pretty well, even be 99.9%, but bottom line, compared to Perfection, we just fall short.
If You're God, and You want to hang out with folks who aren't, you make a way to do it that fulfills the basic common-sense rules. And that Way is Jesus.
He makes everything right that ever was wrong, makes everything sing that should be a song, makes things fly free that just found their wings, makes love the rule of the land by His perfect hand.
He clothes us in "the garment of righteousness for our adorning" (from "The Right Words" by Michael Bartholomew). Just to be with us. His love is that amazing.
