3. Among Men, when the Surety makes a full satisfaction for Debtors, the said Debtors cannot be said to receive their Release, or Discharge, as an Act of Grace and Favour, but as an Act of Justice only.
But Jesus Christ, in the Covenant of Peace, makes full Satisfaction for us, and yet we receive our Release and Discharge as an Act of Grace and Favour alone.
1. In that God and not we found the Surety, which was an Act of his own Sovereign Grace, he being wholly at Liberty, whether he would save Man, or not.
So that our Discharge through the Satisfaction of Christ, must needs primarily and originally flow out of pure Grace, Favour, Love and Pity of God to us.
