The penalty hath been borne, and in this lies the grand reason for pardon. The law, by our substitute, hath been perfectly obeyed, and this, in connection with his sufferings, is the sure foundation for the sinner's acceptance by a just and a holy God. Hence, "Christ is made unto us righteousness as well as redemption." Taking the view that has been given as correct, it will appear, that the Saviour is to the sinner all that he needs. Does the sinner need pardon? Christ "has borne his sins in his own body on the tree." Does he need a righteousness that will bear the scrutiny of a just God? Christ is the righteousness of the law to all them who believe.
