By
the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans
5:17
and we are suffering the effects of his sin every day.
for he also represented us; and
we are enjoying the blessed results of
his
obedience every day.
Our
first federal head involved us in guilt, disgrace, and ruin;
our second federal head bestows on us
our second federal head bestows on us
righteousness, honor, and salvation.
Whatever
we are either as sinners or saints,
flows from connections.
God
never justifies without a righteousness;
but as we have not one, and
cannot produce one,
in order that he may justify us,
he sent his own Son into the world,
who did all the law commanded, and
suffered all the law threatened, as a public person,
and his perfect obedience is placed to the account
of everyone at believes on his name.
By
his one obedience many have been made righteous,
and by his one obedience many will
obtain justification, peace, and everlasting life.
My
soul, look to Jesus as thy Substitute, and Representative!
James
Smith 1849
flows from connections.
but as we have not one, and
cannot produce one,
in order that he may justify us,
he sent his own Son into the world,
who did all the law commanded, and
suffered all the law threatened, as a public person,
and his perfect obedience is placed to the account
of everyone at believes on his name.
and by his one obedience many will
obtain justification, peace, and everlasting life.
Then
let my Lord impute to me
His
own obedience full and free,
As
title to his bless;
And
let his Spirit too implant
All
Christian grace which I want,
As
pledge of happiness.
