#262 - Joseph Prince - Forgiven Righteously Through Jesus Our Mercy Seat - Part 3

Teaching grace, teaching forgiveness, teaching that God remembers our sins no more is not gonna produce license. In fact because of this, God put his laws in our heart, therefore you're following the way of true holiness. God becomes your God. You have a relationship and you know him intimately.

It was Jesus who was punished for our sins. So everything is done in such a way that the law is magnified. God's justice is glorified. You understand?

At the cross, God took your sins and mine and God put it on Jesus. Okay, now watch this. In the courtroom, that happened once and for all. Jesus said, "It is finished," because every judgment of God fell on Jesus, one stroke after another. Every judgment the curse, the condemnation, the disease, the poverty, the separation from God the Father. All the darkness fell upon Jesus stroke after stroke for all our sins, not for him. All right not for his own sake, but for us because he was carrying our sins and he was punished until finally he cried, "It is," the last stroke, "finished". And who was he representing? You and I.
