| The Lord was sent by the Father to make an
atonement for the human race, and that this was effected by His fulfilling
the law, and by the passion of the cross; and that in this way He took
away condemnation, and made satisfaction; and that without this expiation,
satisfaction, and propitiation, the human race would have perished in
eternal death, and this on account of justice which by some is called
vengeful justice. |
Divine attributes are justice, love, mercy,
and good; and God is justice itself, love itself, mercy itself, and good
itself; and where these are, there is not anything of vengeance, and
therefore no vengeful justice. |
