There is one fact more, so demonstrative of the holiness of God, as to eclipse the destruction of the antediluvian world, the fall of man, the ruin of the apostate angels. For in all these cases, the sufferers were first actual transgressors and rebels against God. But if you look to the cross of Christ, there you will see the beloved of the Father, one infinitely more holy than the holiest of the angels in heaven, "set forth by God, to be a propitiation for sin, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness, for the remission of sins that are past, that he might be just," might appear to the eyes of men and angels glorious in holiness or justice, "and yet the justifier of them that believe in Jesus."
