Light for them that sit in darkness, or, A discourse of Jesus Christ, and that he undertook to accomplish by himself the eternal redemption of sinners also, that the Lord Jesus addressed himself to this work, with undeniable demonstrations that he performed the same : objections to the contrary answered / by John Bunyan.

But the word Satisfaction may not be used by the Holy Ghost, perhaps, for that it is too short and scanty a Word to express the Blessedness that comes to Sinners by the Blood of Christ.
1. To make satisfaction amounts to no more than completely to answer a legal Demand for harms and injuries done. Now this when done to the full, leaveth the Offender there where he was ⟨p. 95⟩before he committed the Injury. Now if Christ had done no more than this, he had only paid our debt, but had not obtained eternal redemption for us.

2. For a full Satisfaction given by this Man for harms done by another, may neither obtain the Love of the Person offended, nor the smallest Gift which the Person offending hath not deserved. Suppose I owe to this Man ten thousand Talents, and another should pay him every Farthing, there remaineth over and above, by that complete Satisfaction, not one single half-Penny for me. Christ hath therefore done more than to make satisfaction for sin by his Blood. He hath also made us Kings and Priests to God and his Father, and we shall reign with him for ever and ever, Revel. 1. 5, 6. Chap. 22. 5.
