God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Much more than being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:8-9
Here we have much more reason to cry out than Moses. Deuteronomy 33:3. The Lord loved the people. But here I must beseech thee, too, O Lord ’ that this infinite gift of thy Son, may appear to me greater and greater every day, and that thy love shining out in his redemption, may go on so as to increase in my soul; as to disperse all clouds of darkness, unbelief, and hard thoughts of thy goodness. Whenever this slanderous spirit tries to lift up his head, grant that my faith and love may be quickened, and strengthened in such a manner, as heartily to praise thy great love, in spite of all his suggestions. This is the chief desire, which I offer unto thee in all my prayers, night and day. The want of faith and love, I am sensible, is still my greatest want. My soul is like a large empty vessel; but I pray thee to fill it speedily, notwithstanding any opposition that may be made by my unrenewed part.
So strange, so boundless was the love,
That pitied dying men,
The Father sent his equal Son,
To give them life again.
Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed
With a revenging rod,
No hard commission to perform
The vengeance of a God.
