THE DEBTOR SET FREE
Psalm 32:1-2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
The death of Christ established a judicially just ground whereby every soul represented by Christ have no sin imputed, or charged to them, ever. (Romans 4:8) The totality of their sin was laid on Him, so therefore no sin can ever be laid to their charge. (Romans 8:1, Romans 8:33) The wages of sin, which is death, has been accomplished and the debt therefore satisfied by a representative substitute in the place of every soul in whose stead He stood. (Romans 6:23)
Considering what Christ accomplished through His obedience unto the death of the cross, it therefore follows that His death demands life for every soul He represented. Satisfaction cannot be twice made, first by Christ and then by the sinner. He alone accomplished this glorious salvation by Himself, without the aid, assistance, or embellishment of anyone. His sheep are pleasing to God only as they are found in Him. This is the glorious good news of the gospel whereby sinners are made the very righteousness of God in Him.
This is also the offense of the gospel, for by necessity it excludes any input from sinners in effecting their eternal destiny. This is the Lord's doing, whereby He loved Jacob and hated Esau, saved eight with Noah, yet condemned the world and called Saul (Paul) and not his traveling companions. It is the Lord's sovereign call, for His glory to save whom He will, yet self-righteous, sinful man will not have this God to rule over them.
The satisfaction that Christ wrought in the stead of each soul He represented is a glorious haven of rest to sinners who find no hope within themselves. All our righteousnesses may indeed be filthy rags, but in the sight of and by the decree of Almighty God, we are declared to be the righteousness of God in Him. Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift.
Romans 4:6-8 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
