Quotes about Rectification

The best way to correct a mistake is to make it right.

You correct an error by bringing truth to it.

Should be clear by now that this making-right, or rectification, is not a process. It is already true, in Christ; but it is true eschatologically, from the perspective of the End. The now—not yet dynamic is operative here, as always.

The imagery of rescue and victory places the themes of reconciliation and forgiveness into another context altogether, where they are brought in under the heading of God acting to make right what has been wrong (rectification).

The word translated "justice" and "righteousness" is the same word in Hebrew and in Greek. The root of the word becomes, in both Testaments, both a noun and a verb, so that "justice" or "judgment" is the same thing as "righteousness" or "rectification" (making right).

A great poet ought to a certain degree to rectify men's feelings... to render their feelings more sane, pure and permanent, in short, more consonant to Nature.
