God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; for he has made him to he sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:19-21. Colossians 1:20. 1 Peter 2:24.
It highly concerns all believers, who are desirous to have always peace and support within, to be ever sensible of their own misery, and spiritual poverty, and so to live, and rest solely and wholly in the all-sufficient atonement and righteousness of Christ Jesus our Saviour. Disquietness and laziness generally proceed from self-righteousness, and our not looking up and being indebted to him for every thing, but secretly trusting in something in ourselves.
Jesus, thou art my righteousness,
For all my sins were thine,
Thy death, has bought of God my peace,
Thy life has made him mine.
Spotless and just in thee I am:
I feel my sins forgiven:
I taste salvation in thy name,
And antedate my heaven.
For ever here my rest shall be.
Close to thy bleeding side;
’Tis all my hope, and all my plea:
For me the Saviour died!
My dying Saviour and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever in thy blood,
And cleanse and keep me clean.
