Fragment: Living the Life of Man Before God

The whole question of our responsibility, as living in the life of man before God, is settled by Christ’s judicially bearing the consequences before God, and by the death of the life in which we stood as sinners. But then Christ is now a new life; He is risen, and we are alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. “I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” I am quickened together with Christ, and raised up together. God has quickened us together with Him, having forgiven us all trespasses. They are buried in His grave, and without them.
