That is why He had to do the work Himself. He had to take on human form, put on human nature, live a human life. He had to fulfill every iota of every law He gave - sacrificial laws, moral laws, ceremonial laws - and live the perfect life which no fallen man can.
Then He had to be the sin-bearer, the One who was scourged on that post for sins He did not commit, the One on whom His Father turned His back on, the One who thirsted a thirst no man is able to quench.
He will not countenance sin, whether from the unredeemed of humanity, or those whom He particularly redeemed. The former will suffer the consequences of their sin both in this life, and in eternity future, and the latter, in this life only in the form of chastisement, having no more judgment coming to them since He took God's judgment on their behalf.
Moses did not enter the promised land in this plane called time because He disobeyed, fueled by His temper. Lot was His saint, but lived an unsaintly life while on this finite plane we call time, Solomon was His elect from the womb but lived the remainder of His life in the misery He expressed, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in Ecclessiastes.
In Jeremiah, He expressed His anger at the presumptuosness of prophets who attribute to Him words He never commanded them to speak.
He has His limits, boundaries He will not go beyond. He is bounded by His holiness, His character and His justice. His justice demands that sin be punished, and the punishment was pronounced in the garden of Eden - "on the day that thou eatest of it, thou shall surely die."
His salvation was planned long before the foundation of the world, and the names of His people written down by His own hand in the Lamb's book of life long before the foundation of the world.
We do have a limited God, Yelsew. His limits are sin in any way, form, or from whatever direction, unbelief, wilfull disobedience, attributing to Him words that are not His words, unholiness, and other manisfestations of a dead spirit, which is man's spirit.[qb]
If atonement is limited, then your God is limited! Since the God of the bible IS NOT LIMITED in any way whatever, then your concept of God is limited. It is UNLIMITED God who provides UNLIMITED Atonement. It is limited man who declares limited atonement. [/qb[
