Every aspect which the pardoning grace of God assumes in the record which reveals it, must be deeply interesting to those who feel their need of it. That record presents it to our notice in a variety of views. It sometimes appears as atonement provided for the guilt of sin, sometimes as the remission of a debt, as purification from uncleanness, as a forgetfulness of injury sustained, as a restoration to favour, as an exaltation to glory, as eternal life. At least, if pardoning grace does not strictly comprehend all these inestimable blessings, it is inseparably connected with them. It is the first link in the golden chain of mercy, which terminates in everlasting salvation.
