Don’t try to explain why God is the way He is. He is beyond explanation. Why? Because He has no cause, He just IS, and we must accept that about Him. (He even says about Himself, “I am that I am!”
But why cannot He do better than that? We ask question like,
“If God is omnipotent, why did He require the death of His Son in order to
forgive.” The answer is simple—He acts within the confines of His character
which requires a propitiation or an adequate payment to satisfies His righteous
character.
Why can we not explain this? Explanations are always a matter of identifying
antecedent causes for why something is the way it is. We explain rainfall in
terms of clouds containing moisture taken up by evaporation and climatic
conditions. However, such things cannot apply to an eternal uncaused
Being. Therefore, we have no alternative but to accept Him as He has revealed
Himself.
