Sin Judged At The Cross

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” -Romans 6:3-4 [KJV]

=========================

There was not a speck of sin on the conscience, nor a principle of sin in the nature of His people for which Christ was not judged on the cross; and they are now looked upon as having died with Christ, lain in the grave with Christ, been raised with Christ, perfectly accepted in Him - their sins, their iniquities, their transgressions, their enmity, their uncircumcision, having been entirely put away by the cross. The sentence of death has been written on the flesh; but the believer is in possession of a new life, in union with his risen Head in glory.

What rest -perfect rest- for the heart and conscience is here! What full relief for the burdened spirit! All our sins buried in the grave of Christ, not one -even the smallest- left out! God did this for us! All that His searching eye could detect in us, He laid on the head of Christ when He hung upon His cross! He judged Him there and then, instead of judging us in hell forever.
