It is most blessed to see that in the cross the moral nature of God, outraged by man's sin, has been perfectly glorified. Christ would rather die than let sin subsist unatoned for. He has wrought atonement, and sin has been perfectly judged, according to God's estimate of its sinfulness before Him. God, having been thus glorified by the Son of man, has shown His estimate of that Man and of His work by putting Him into glory at His own right hand. Faith perceives this, and immediately reckons—and rightly too—that every question of sin must have been divinely settled to the entire satisfaction of God. The result for the soul is solid peace in the sense of acceptance in Christ in divine righteousness.
