(2.) There are other properties of God which, though also
otherwise discovered, yet are so clearly, eminently, and savingly only in
Jesus Christ; as, — [1.] His vindictive justice in punishing sin;
[2.] His patience, forbearance, and
long-suffering towards sinners; [3.] His wisdom, in
managing things for his own glory; [4.] His all-sufficiency, in
himself and unto others. All these, though they may receive some lower and
inferior manifestations out of Christ, yet they clearly shine only in him;
so as that it may be our wisdom to be acquainted with them.
