Isaiah 59:16-17 is a beautiful summary of God's plan of salvation: "He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak."
In other words, we were all lost in sin; none of us could get ourselves out of it so God took action (note: not reluctantly but with zeal!). Our God is an awesome God!
