The Justice of God

2 Corinthians 5-21 is a critical one in my opinion for understanding a whole lot of things about Paul. It suggests that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself and then therefore God made him who knew no sin to be sin so that in him Christ we might become the righteousness of God. The saving acts of God that we see portrayed by the psalmist and the prophets get picked up in Paul and other New Testament writers.
