You think, perhaps, of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. And you think aright. There is the atonement, the sacrifice, the propitiation, for our sins. When we begin to know that grace, we may begin to know the love of God the Father. The barrier of sin being removed by Christ, the hidden streams of the Father's love visibly burst forth. By the meritorious grace of Christ, in living and dying in our nature for sinners, the law which we had broken is infinitely honoured, and God can still “be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” All the perfections of God are, in fact, infinitely honoured in the grace of Christ. Nothing shows God so holy, so just, so merciful, so opposed to the very sin which He pardons, as the grace of Jesus Christ.
