Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other. Psalm 85:10
The inner sense is Christ Jesus, the reconciling word. In him, the attributes of God unite in glad unanimity in the salvation of guilty men, they meet and embrace in such a manner as else were inconceivable either to our just fears or to our enlightened hopes. God is as true as if he had fulfilled every leer of his threatening, as righteous as if he had never spoken peace to a sinner’s conscience; his love in undiminished, splendor shines forth, but no other of his ever-blessed characteristics is eclipsed thereby.” Spurgen
