“All our transgressions are swept away at once, carried off as by a flood and so completely removed that no guilty trace of them remains. They are all gone! O believers, think of this, for the all is no little thing: sins against a holy God, sins against His loving Son, sins against gospel as well as against law, sins against man as well as against God, sins of the body as well as sins of the mind, sins as numerous as the sands on the seashore, and as great as the sea itself: all, all are removed from us as far as the east is from the west. All this evil was rolled into one great mass, and laid upon Jesus, and having borne it all He has made an end of it forever. When the Lord forgave us, He forgave us the whole debt. He did not take the bill and say, “I strike out this item and that,” but the pen went through it all;—PAID. It was a receipt in full of all demands. Jesus took the handwriting that was against us and nailed it to His Cross, to show before the entire universe that its power to condemn us had ceased forever. We have in Him a full forgiveness.
