The world could not be saved illegally, so to speak. The charter of redemption must be based on pure, changeless equity. The problem of the ages was solved when Jesus died. God's love provided the sacrifice. The death of the heavenly Lamb was of untold efficacy. It honoured and satisfied the law. It declared God's righteousness: He is now "just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" (Rom. iii. 26). There are no limits. There cannot be, in the very nature of the case. The deity of the Lord Jesus gives immeasurable value to His sacrifice. If the salvation of one sinner required no less, the salvation of all sinners would require no more. The "Lamb of God . . . taketh away the sin of the world," that is, the redemption He has accomplished is sufficient for the salvation of the world.
