The Pleasure of God in the Gospel
The atonement itself and not something outside the atonement is the cause for any conversion. The resources for conversion are found in the servant's death. They flow from it. You did not supply your conversion to activate the atonement. Jesus atonement activates your conversion. But I know still our problem remains. However layered and multi-dimensional the pleasures of God. Why does God delight in the death of his son? Four reasons. Number one, God delights in the magnitude of his son's achievement. His death is an achievement. And his death is a particular accomplishment. So the pleasure ofGod in the gospel is the pleasure of God in substitution, in justification, indefinite atonement.
