Joseph Iron, from 1849

Jun 20, 2016

So the Resurrection of Christ was an announcement of the all-glorious, heart-cheering fact that the iniquities of God’s people were forever done away, the whole debt of the eternal Church cancelled, a justifying righteousness for them all brought in and perfected, the whole realm of bliss, in new songs of rapture, glorying in the completion of Jesus’ work.
All that had gone before, retained their seats in bliss, and all that were yet unborn of the election of Divine Grace, were as sure of getting there as those already within the veil, because Jesus announced in His Resurrection the actual, entire exoneration and full and complete salvation of all those the Father had given into His hand.
Romans 4:25: “He was delivered for our offenses, but He was raised again for our justification.”
