COMPLETE IN CHRIST!
Our
sins were crucified with Christ. They were put to death when He died,
for He was our covenant head, and we were legally represented by Him.
The law has no more right to condemn us than it has to condemn Him.
Justice is bound to deal with us as it has with our Saviour. "He
that is dead is freed" from the sin for which He died; so
are we! If we do not see this complete mortification in Him, sin will
reign in us.
No
sin can be crucified in heart or life unless it be first pardoned in
conscience. If the believer does not see HIS PERFECT DEADNESS IN
CHRIST, he will open wide a door to unbelief. If a believer does not
see HIS COMPLETENESS IN CHRIST, he leaves room for attacks of self
righteousness and legalism. If Christ be not all, self will feed
personal merit and importance.

report by preacher Wm. Romaine (1714 – 1795 A.D.)
