Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Occasional Papers on Scriptural Subjects Naturally, (as has been elsewhere observed) we are criminals in relation to the Courts of God´s judgment, and unclean in relation to the Courts of His worship - having, therefore, no title to approach God in peace, much less to serve Him as the priests of His sanctuary: yet the moment we are brought through faith (even though that faith be feeble) into connexion with the one Sacrifice, we are both "justified" and "sanctified," (Rom. v. and Heb. x.) - and that for ever. "Sanctified," says the Apostle, "by the offering of the body of Jesus once:" and again: "by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are [so] sanctified." By our Substitute´s meritorious suffering and obedience in life and in death - means which the wisdom and love of God appointed, God´s governmental righteousness has been vindicated, His wrath appeased, and every claim of His holiness satisfied. "We owe" (I quote from one of the Puritan writers) "we owe unto God a double debt; first, a debt of obedience; and if that fail, secondly, a debt of punishment. And both these hath Christ freed us from: first, by obeying the will of His Father in every thing; and secondly, by suffering whatsoever was due to us for our transgressions." Thus, the double claim of God´s holy Law is for ever satisfied. Everlasting immunity from wrath and abiding reconciliation and peace with God are the necessary results of this satisfaction. Yet reconciliation and peace are not the only blessings conferred through Christ on the justified. In further attestation to the worthiness and excellency of that eternal Person who obeyed and suffered in the stead of His people, God hath been pleased to admit the justified into a love and favour like to the love and favour that He bears towards His Son. This is sufficiently taught in the memorable words: "Thou hast loved them as thou hast loved Me." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
