A
kind soul asked:
Sing,
what was accomplished at the cross?
=====
1.
One thing is almost certain: ALL the sins of ALL the elect of God were IMPUTED
to Christ, YES, even including all the sins of all the elect that were not even
conceived yet.
2.
Just as certain, Christ Jesus - the redeemer of all those that were given to
Him by the Father - suffered and endured the divine curse of all those sins in
the place of His people, and made complete satisfaction of the wages of sins
owed by ALL of His elect.
Equally
certain, there are misguided Christians who believe that their sins were
imputed to Christ ONLY when they believed in Jesus Christ. They don't realize
that any sin imputed to Christ POST/AFTER the cross-death-and-resurrection
event would be tooooo late!
If a
man's sins are not INCLUDED (by legal imputation to Christ) in the one-offering
of Christ of Himself for sin, there is NO MORE atonement for those sins. He
MISSED the one Sin-Ship! The Ship has left the harbour, never to return for
more sins! The one Train that carried away sin has left the Station!
There
is no more a second, or a third, or a fourth offering of Christ for sins at the
WHIM and FANCY of some stupid (i.e. lacking common sense - not a derogatory
term in any way, but an objective adjective!) people.
Silly
misguided children of God DOOOOOOOOO believe fables that are so injurious to
themselves! They think Christ is at their beckoning! Not surprising at all
because they the mighty ones ACCEPTED a poor Jesus who begged at their doors
for their ACCEPTANCE of Him! They have been sold a poor and pathetic Jesus! So
they end up with this fable that it is they who decide when to surrender their
sins to be imputed to Christ when they believe in Christ!
3.
Just as certain, double imputations took place at the cross, i.e.
- The
sins of all His elect were IMPUTED to Christ, and Christ rendered full and
perfect satisfaction for all of them. That is why not one iota of sin was able
to hold Him in the grave!
- The
righteousness of Christ, from His life of perfect and sinless obedience to God,
was IMPUTED to all His elect.
If you
have any questions, feel free to ask.
p/s
What is IMPUTED legally (a legal transaction) is APPLIED vitally (a personal
transaction); the former doesn't need your personal existence, the latter
requires it. What is applied freely by God's grace, i.e. when a man is dead in
sins and trespasses, is EXPERIENCED through faith in Christ Jesus, whose
righteousness is the sole basis and alone ground of God freely justifying the
condemned, dead, alienated sinners.
