The Lord Jesus Christ, having fully satisfied God's justice for our sins by His death in our place, and this being imputed to us through faith, and accounted as if we had done it ourselves (as a surety's paying our debt is accounted by the creditor as if we had paid it), we are acquitted, and no more exposed to the wrath of God and punishment of hell—than if we had never committed any one sin to deserve it!
