Romans 8:1

“There is therefore now no condemnation.”
— Romans 8:1

Come, my soul, think thou of this. Believing in Jesus, thou art
actually and effectually cleared from guilt; thou art led out of thy
prison. Thou art no more in fetters as a bond-slave; thou art delivered
now from the bondage of the law; thou art freed from sin, and canst
walk at large as a freeman, thy Saviour’s blood has procured thy full
discharge. Thou hast a right now to approach thy Father’s throne. No
flames of vengeance are there to scare thee now; no fiery sword;
justice cannot smite the innocent. Thy disabilities are taken away:
thou wast once unable to see thy Father’s face: thou canst see it now.
Thou couldst not speak with him: but now thou hast access with
boldness. Once there was a fear of hell upon thee; but thou hast no
fear of it now, for how can there be punishment for the guiltless? He
who believeth is not condemned, and cannot be punished. And more than
all, the privileges thou mightst have enjoyed, if thou hadst never
sinned, are thine now that thou art justified. All the blessings which
thou wouldst have had if thou hadst kept the law, and more, are thine,
because Christ has kept it for thee. All the love and the acceptance
which perfect obedience could have obtained of God, belong to thee,
because Christ was perfectly obedient on thy behalf, and hath imputed
all his merits to thy account, that thou mightst be exceeding rich
through him, who for thy sake became exceeding poor. Oh! how great the
debt of love and gratitude thou owest to thy Saviour!

“A debtor to mercy alone,
Of covenant mercy I sing;
Nor fear with thy righteousness on,
My person and offerings to bring:
The terrors of law and of God,
With me can have nothing to do;
My Saviour’s obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view.”

On this day…
