GRACE is the activity of the love of God to us after we have sinned, and before the day when He deals with our sins as the righteous, moral Governor of the universe, because God must judge sin. He would not be God if He did not judge sin. He would be no better than we if He did not judge sin. I know perfectly well that men try to get rid of the judgment of God, but the truth is this, God judges sin, and must do so, because He is God, and is infinitely holy. But what has He already done? After you and I have sinned, and before the day of judgment, when He must deal with men about their sins, He has stepped into this scene in the Person of His own beloved Son. Grace has come in, and what do I find? That the very One who is going to be Judge, by-and-by, anticipates the day of judgment, enters into the scene, dies in the room of guilty man, bears his judgment, and delivers him not only from the consequences of his sin, but brings him into the enjoyment of the love of God, makes him a child of God, and makes him the happy possessor of the forgiveness of sins and of eternal life.
