Natural man understands, and feels deeply that there is no one to stand between himself, a totally depraved creature, and the creator of heaven and earth, who is holy, and dwells in inexhaustible light. And so man seeks to hide from and make unto himself a means of dealing with the sense of the searing white heat of Divine wrath, either as Paul says by running from the law, or hiding behind the law, both human efforts to alleviate that penetrating sense of guilt. One creates a new god, the other blames the God which they know, one in uniquely Gentile, the other distinctly Jewish.
However the answer does not lie in putting God on the stand, for God is true and just in all that He does, and man is wicked and false in all that he does. The doctrines of God and man reveal that the only way to peace is that one stand between sinful men and holy God, effectually, completely, and mercifully that redemption and reconciliation might be won.
