2. God, in forgiving sin, remits the guilt and penalty
Guilt cries for justice. No sooner had Adam eaten the apple, than he saw the ‘flaming sword’ and heard the curse; but in remission God indulges the sinner; he seems to say to him, ‘Though you have fallen into the hands of my justice and deserve to die, yet I will absolve you, and whatever is charged against you shall be discharged.’
