By his grace— Grace or favour means that compassionate disposition of the divine nature, whereby God freely remits his right of punishment, and receives penitent sinners into favour on terms which he was not bound in justice to do. Concerning the true import of the words redemption, propitiation, &c. we refer to what has been said in the notes on the Old Testament, at the same time referring the reader to Peter Whitfield's "Christianity of the New Testament," p. 95, &c. where he will find a very learned and copious elucidation of these words.
