In the first Adam we offended God, because Adam did not obey the divine commandment. But in the second Adam we have been reconciled to God and made obedient even to death. For we were debtors to no one except to him whose commandment we had transgressed. Therefore, in the last times the Lord has restored us into fellowship through his incarnation. He has become the Mediator between God and man, propitiating the Father against whom we had sinned, by his death. He has cancelled our disobedience by his obedience.Adversus omnes haereses 5.16.3-5.17.1
As a simple being, God is graciousness is mercy is patience is love is goodness. He is all these things all the time with all attributes in perfect harmony. All the attributes of God must harmonize with one another in our conception of God, or else the God in our minds is not the true God.God Is, 33
By transgressing God's commandment, we became his enemies. Therefore, in the last times, the Lord has restored us to his friendship through his incarnation. He has become the Mediator between God and man, propitiating the Father against whom we have sinned. He has cancelled our disobedience by his obedience and conferred upon us the gift of communion with, and subjection to, our MakerAdversus omnes haereses 5.17.1
I ought to begin with the most important point, which is that God the Creator made heaven and earth and everything in them... and demonstrate that there is nothing above him or behind him, as well as that he made everything of his own free will, uninfluenced by anyone else. He is the only God, the only Lord, the only Creator, the only Father, the only one who contains all things and who commanded everything else to come into existence. How can there be any other fullness, principle, power, or god above him, since it is necessary for God, who is the fullness of all these things, to contain them in his immensity without being himself contained by anyone?Adversus omnes haereses 2.1.1-2
Not a single thing that has been made, or that will be made, escapes the knowledge of God. Through his providence, every thing has received its nature, rank, number, and uniqueness. Nothing has come about by accident or for no purpose. Everything has been made with exact appropriateness and by the exercise of transcendent knowledge.Adversus omnes haereses 5.22.2
