“[Jesus Christ] is the God who, in his holy love, judges humanity but who draws near in so doing, for he will not hold himself aloof from men and women; but he is also the man who in our place draws near to God and so submits himself to the divine judgment, offering himself in sacrifice to God. Jesus Christ combines both acts in himself, within the unity of his own incarnate personal life, so that he is himself propitiation acutely personalized in both its Godward and manward aspects.”
- Thomas F. Torrance, Atonement: The Person and Work of Christ (Downers Grove, Ill.; IVP Academic, 2009), 68-69.
