God is infinitely excellent, and that excellence is most profoundly displayed in the person and saving work of Jesus Christ.

Indeed, all of creation serves as the stage of Gods purpose and plan in Christ, leading to the ultimate goal of the saints happiness in heaven as they enjoy the infinite blessings of Christs exaltation and glory.Chapter Two probes the pre-temporal Trinitarian and covenantal foundation of Christs obedience, highlighting the Fathers love in His purpose to save a people, and the Sons love in freely undertaking to accomplish it. Initiated by the Father, and mutually accepted by Christ and the Father, the terms of the Covenant of Redemption provide for the purchase of Christs bride without injury to Gods perfections, most notably His righteous justice.
