God is to save humble, miserable, oppressed, desperate and penniless people. God enables the blind to rehabilitate visual acuity, the hurt soul to be consoled, the sinners to get rid of sins and desperate and cursed people to be redeemed. However, the poisonous concept that people are good-natured and can do justice not only cheats us, but also convinces us that we are not unclean, pathetic and repulsive sinners. People think that the idea of justice and sanctity prevents God from saving us. Therefore, God has to hold a large hammer-law to eliminate the false confidence, making people realize their desperation and sins because of pains caused by the curse of the law.
