JESUS PAID IT ALL!!!




Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
— Romans 8:33-34
Halleluiah!!!
Most blessed challenge! How unanswerable it is! Every sin of the elect was laid upon the great Champion of our salvation, Jesus my Lord and Saviour, and by the atonement all sins were carried away.
There is no sin in God’s book against his people: He sees no sin in Jacob, neither iniquity in Israel; they are justified in Christ forever. When the guilt of sin was taken away, the punishment of sin was removed. For the Christian there is no stroke from God’s angry hand—nay, not so much as a single frown of punitive justice.
The believer may be chastised by his Father, but God the Judge has nothing to say to the Christian, except “I have absolved thee: thou art acquitted.” For the Christian there is no penal death in this world, much less any second death Halleluiah!. He is completely freed from all the punishment as well as the guilt of sin, and the power of sin is removed too. It may stand in our way, and agitate us with perpetual warfare; but sin is a conquered foe to every soul in union with Jesus. There is no sin which a Christian cannot overcome if he will only rely upon his God to do it.
They who wear the white robe in heaven overcame through the blood of the Lamb, and we may do the same. No lust is too mighty, no besetting sin too strongly entrenched; we can overcome through the power of Christ. Do believe it, Christian, that your sin is a condemned thing. It may kick and struggle, but it is doomed to die. God has written condemnation across its brow. Christ has crucified it, “nailing it to His cross.” Go now and mortify it, and the Lord help you to live to His praise, "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." Says the scriptures (Rom.6:14).
For sin with all its guilt, shame, and fear, is gone.
“Here’s pardon for transgressions past,
It matters not how black their cast;
And, O my soul, with wonder view,
For sins to come here’s pardon too.”
Perhaps you have been suffering and heavily ladened under sin, the Saviour's call to you this moment is;
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
Matt.11:28-29.
Never refuse the Saviour's bidding you to come, the yoke of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is rest to your soul, the yoke of sin is a heavy laden that binds you in shame, depression and frustration.
Come to Jesus today, HE PAID IT ALL!
Have a great and a wonderful day!
God bless us all.
