Why God Has to Forgive Us - Watchman Nee

Every day I get eManna which gives a verse and some thought provoking ministry from the writings of Watchman Nee or Witness Lee. Today as I was scanning my emails, I saw this  title God Now Having to Save Us, and it caught my attention because we had just recently read the booklet the Assurance of Salvation with some students.  Here is part of an excerpt from eManna quoted from a book by Watchman Nee called The Gospel of God from pages 90-91.  The bolding and underlining are from me:
 Before the Lord Jesus came to the earth and was crucified on  the cross, it would have been fine for God to refuse to save  us. God could have left us unsaved. Had God not given us His Son, all that we could have said was that God did not love  us. We could not say anything more. But because God has  indeed given us His Son and put our sins upon Him that we might be redeemed from our sins, God can do nothing else but forgive our sins when we come to Him through the blood of the Lord Jesus and through His work. Hallelujah! God has to forgive our sins! It was love that brought His Son to the cross, but it was righteousness that caused God to forgive our sins.
Note:  You can choose to receive your eManna in Chinese, Spanish, German, and some other languages.   

Blog update 5/8/13:  Bibles for America has put out a video segment called The Precious Blood of Christ which is based on a booklet by the same title published by  Living Stream Ministry.
