"To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.'
"I call your attention to those words, "Him that justifieth the ungodly." They seem to me to be very wonderful words. Are you not surprised that there should be such an expression as that in the Bible, "That justifieth the ungodly?" I have heard that men that hate the doctrines of the cross bring it as a charge against God, that He saves wicked men and receives to Himself the vilest of the vile. See how this Scripture accepts the charge, and plainly states it! By the mouth of His servant Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, He takes to Himself the title of "Him that justifieth the ungodly."
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor
