Incarnation and the Gospel

“This one person was, therefore, able to suffer and bear the penalty of man’s transgression, because, being of man’s nature, he could become man’s representative, and could also endure such suffering as could be inflicted upon man; yet, being God, he could give a value to such suffering, which would make it equivalent, not to one man’s penalty, but to that of the whole race.” [James P. Boyce, Abstract of Systematic Theology (Charleston: Southern Baptist Publication Society, 1887), 291.]
