The Everlasting Righteousness.
By Christ's substitution and especially at the moment of his death upon the cross, and only at that moment God's love and law are both satisfied.
On the cross and only on the cross, the love and standards of God perfectly and brilliantly coincide and shine forth together.
Jesus was smitten to satisfy the justice of God since that stroke paid for sins.
And yet at the same time he was smitten to satisfy the love of God since that stroke secured our salvation.
