Dilemma

Because of humanity's rebellion against Him, God was faced with a very difficult choice between options that seemed irreconcilable.  God's law is eternal.  Upon it depends the predictability, the orderliness, the peace of the universe.  The ten commandments were God's adaptation of His eternal law of love to the moral happiness of the human race.  God cannot abrogate or set aside the ten commandments, His own eternal Law of Love, any more than He could set aside Himself, because His commandments are an expression of His own character of love.

But then shall He destroy His earth children who've fallen for the enemy's deception?  Such a choice is untenable for Love.  Then how shall He save us and still uphold His Law which is an expression of His own character?  How shall the penalty for human sin, how shall the wages for human sinners be paid?  In short, how can God be true to Himself as a God of Law and yet be true to His children as a God of Love?
