A Living Fact

A Living Fact

When Jesus was crucified. He took my place as a sinner. He bore my sins in his body on the tree: He bore my shame that came through my union with Satan; He bore my diseases that Satan had put upon me; He bore my judgment which was mine, because of my union with God’s enemy.
When He died, He carried all this off into the land of forgetfulness and He rose because He had put all this away. He not only put my sin away, my shame and my diseases,
but He put me away – the old me – me, the sinner. He put my sin nature away.

He put my infirmities away along with my sin, sicknesses, and diseases so that now I stand with Him and in Him as free from them as He was free when He rose.

A New Creation

His justification is my justification; His righteousness is my righteousness; His health is my health; His freedom from Satan’s dominion is my freedom; His freedom from condemnation is my freedom from condemnation; His freedom from infirmities is my freedom from infirmities; for in Him, I enjoy all that He did and all that He now is. All that He did, He did for me. Let me state it again:

Jesus, My Substitute

If He bore my sins, I do not need to bear them; If He bore my sin nature, I do not need to bear it; If He bore my infirmities, I do not need to carry them; – If I DO bear them, then He died for naught.

So when I accepted Him as my Saviour, confessed Him as my Lord, and was baptized into His Name, I was baptized into His standing before the Father. I was baptized into His righteousness that He wrought; I was baptized into His justification; baptized into His health for the body, soul and spirit; I was baptized into the victory that He had won over Satan; I was baptized into all He means to the Father, for He died representatively for me; and now, He reigns up there, representatively for me.

As He is my representative up there, now, I am His representative here on earth.
He has put me, and mine, and all the sin, that was in me, away, and He has given me all that was His: all that He did, all that He was, so that “as He is now, so am I in this world.”
