So, then, this also is hid in Christ, — the great and
unspeakable riches of the wisdom of God, in pardoning sin,
saving sinners, satisfying justice, fulfilling the
law, repairing his own honour, and providing for us a
more exceeding weight of glory; and all this out of such a condition as
wherein it was impossible that it should enter into the hearts of angels or
men how ever the glory of God should be repaired, and one sinning creature
delivered from everlasting ruin. Hence it is said, that at the last day
God “shall be glorified in his saints, and admired in all them that
believe,” 2 Thess. i.
10. It shall be an admirable thing, and God shall be for ever
glorious in it, even in the bringing of believers to himself. To save
sinners through believing, shall be found to be a far more admirable work
than to create the world of nothing.
