Salvation is not something that we have earned or can receive on our own, but rather on our own, we have earned separation from God because like the Pharaoh we have set ourselves up as our own god or gods, like the people of Egypt and the Israelites people we seek to satisfy ourselves, control our destiny, and self-preservation. On our own, we are not Holy, and God demands nothing less than the perfect holiness of Himself. Salvation comes through substitution.
