Important point of clarification for this thread. Wages are not paid. Wages are earned or received. Thus, death is not paid either. There is no such thing as a "debt of death" as many penal substitution advocates mistakenly claim. That is the exact opposite of what the Bible says.
On the cross, Jesus receives the wages of sin undeservedly because he is without sin, thus justice demands that these wages be taken back, that death be reversed, hence the resurrection.
And what you posted I believe to be the righteousness of God.without the law.
The soul that sins, it shall die.------Yet;
Jesus the Son of God, the sinless one, by the Father was made to be sin and the Son thereby, GAVE his life.
Died for our souls, Therefore God the Father raised the Son from the dead. The righteousness of God that gave life apart from the law. See Gal, 3:19-21
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
Because of that, we can be made the righteousness of God in him.
