Synopsis

Excerpt from Notes on the Book of GenesisChrist, "delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification," settles everything. The moment we believe the gospel, we are saved, and ought to be divinely happy. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." (Rom. iv., v.; John iii.)We see the greatness of God's love to the sinner, in His judgment of sin, in the Person of His own dear Son, on the cross. There, God, in perfect grace to us, dealt with sin according to His infinite holiness and justice. He went down to the depths of our ruin, and all our sin, measured it, judged it, and put it forever away - root and branch - by shedding the precious blood of the spotless victim. "He condemned sin in the flesh"; that is, He there condemned the evil root of sin which is in our flesh - our carnal nature. But He also "made an end of sins" - of the actual sins of every believer. Thus, between God and Christ alone, the entire question of sin was gone into, and finally settled on the cross. "Simon Peter said unto Him, 'Lord, whither goest Thou?' Jesus answered Him, 'Whither I go, thou canst not follow Me now.'" Just as Abraham and Isaac were alone on the top of the mountain in the land of Moriah, so were God and Christ alone, amidst the solemnities and solitudes of Calvary. The only part we had in the cross was, that our sins were there. Jesus alone bore the full weight of their judgment. (Comp. Dan. ix. 24; Rom. viii. 3; 2 Cor. v. 21; Heb. ix. 26, 28.)Whenever this blessed truth is learnt from God's own Word, and maintained in the soul by faith, through the power of the Holy Ghost, all is peace, joy and victory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
