Christ satisfied Gods anger for mans offence, according to his humanity, by performing perfect obedience to the will of God, according to his Deity, by ministering such especial dignity to his perfect obedience, as was both full of merit and efficacy before God, for the salvation of the Elect. Joh. 17.19. For their sakes sanctify I my self, that they also may be sanctified through the truth. Act. 20.28. To feed the flock of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 2. Cor. 5.19. God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himself, not imputing their sins unto them.
