It Is All Of God

We cannot grasp it. It is beyond us.
It is in the realm of the spirit, the realm of the riches of grace, of glory.
This New Creation makes us children of God Almighty.
God is now our Father. We are His children, we are in His family.
The wonder of it! The grace of it! The joy of it!
How it comforts and strengthens.
As we receive His Redemption we are free from the old bondage and habits. As we receive His Lordship and joyfully tell it to the world, we receive our Redemption.
Eternal Life links us up with Him.
We didn’t even ask Him for it.
We didn’t plead and pray and promise we would do certain things if He gave it to us.
All we had to do was to acknowledge the gift, and thank Him for it.
“But,” you say, “what about our sins?”
He put our sin away by the sacrifice of Himself.
We had nothing to do with it whatever.
We had been helplessly in bondage for years, and then one day someone came along and said, “Did you know He put your sin away by the sacrifice of Himself?”
We said, “Yes, we read it, but we never understood it.”

The thing that bound us to the Adversary and the thing that brought condemnation had been put away, our hearts were filled with joy.
“He bore our sins in his body on the tree.”
He was made sin with our sin that we might become Righteous with His Righteousness.
Sin no longer has any dominion over us.
“All we like sheep had gone astray. We had turned everyone to his own way” and the Father laid upon Christ all that we had ever been or done.
John the Baptist said, “Behold the lamb of God that beareth away the sin of the world.”
God has dealt with the sin problem.
He does not ask us to deal with it. He does not ask us to do one thing with it. He does not even ask us to be sorry that we were sinners.

Why? We were not to blame for being sin-
Is a man to blame for being born in a certain country? No. He had nothing to do with it.
We had nothing to do with our sin condition.
We could not even help committing the sins we committed. They were an outgrowth of a condition of sin in our nature.
Now He comes and tells us that He put that sin away, that He remitted all the sins we ever committed.
He is not asking us to do anything.
