Last week, we looked at the necessity of the humanity of our Redeemer. This week, we will see why it is necessary for the Redeemer to also be Deity.

Why must the Redeemer be truly God?

That because of his divine nature his obedience and suffering would be perfect and effective; and also that he would be able to bear the righteous anger of God against sin and yet overcome death.

Acts 2:24

But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold of him.
