And it would not agree with his justice to demand the debt, when the Surety has paid it, and he has accepted that payment in full satisfaction.

And faith has special regard to the blood of Christ, as that which made the atonement. It comes freely unto us, but Christ bought it, and paid the price. It is free grace, mere mercy there is nothing in us to deserve such favours.
