My response to Jesus finished work is not to get God to save me. My response is entering into relationship with God, Jesus made that possible. Israel couldn't endure the mountain, because of the gulf between God and man, Jesus as a man bridged that gulf and brought all of humanity with Him.
As the scripture says, I died with Christ, I was raised with Christ, and I am now seated with Christ at the right hand of the Father. That is the position NOW of all mankind, and as soon as the Body of Christ declare these facts, the Good News will cover the earth "... as the waters cover the seas..." He has completely UNDONE Adam, man is reconciled to God.
We don't know who we are, we've lost our identity, and our home address, Jesus came to create the way home. Now the Father is looking longingly for every prodigal to "come to himself" and head for home.
