By His life and His death, Christ proved that God's justice did not destroy His mercy, but that sin could be forgiven, and that the law is righteous, and can be perfectly obeyed. Satan's charges were refuted. God had given man unmistakable evidence of His love.

Ved sit liv og sin død viste Kristus, at Guds retfærdighed ikke tilintetgjorde hans barmhjertighed, men at synden kunne tilgives, og at loven er retfærdig og kan adlydes til fuldkommenhed. Satans anklager var blevet modbevist. Gud havde givet mennesket et umiskendeligt bevis på sin kærlighed.
