The purpose of our holy and righteous God was to save his church, but their sin could not go unpunished. It was, therefore, necessary that the punishment for that sin be transferred from those who deserved it but could not bear it, to one who did not deserve it but was able to bear it.
John OwenThere is not a day but sin foils or is foiled, prevails or is prevailed on; and it will be so whilst we live in this world.
