The cross confirms all that we have said about the infinite offense of sin. It says that no finite sacrifice can atone for sin (Heb. 10:4). Nothing but a sacrifice of infinite value, God Himself, can atone for our offenses. In addition, no one but an infinite Being is capable of suffering sufficiently to atone for infinite offenses against an infinitely holy God.

Quintus Florens Tertullian
160-220
North African defender of the faith. Tertullian was born of heathen parents in Carthage, Africa. He studied law and lived an exceedingly sinful life until he received the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 30. He became an intense, hardhitting defender of the fundamentals of the Christian faith against the traditions of Romanism. He joined the Montanists, a group of premillennial, Bible-believing Christians, and spent the rest of his life writing and preaching primitive Christianity as opposed to Romanism with its ecclesiastical traditions and ceremonies contrary to the Scriptures.

ARTIST’S NOTE: The cool colors designate the objective, scholarly approach of the man. Tertullian is shown with a manuscript scroll of the Holy Scriptures.
