The Lord reckons them no longer theirs, when he hath made them once to be Christ's - Tobias Crisp

"You know that text in Isa. 53:6, "He hath laid on him the iniquities of us all; and you know that place in 2 Cor. 5:21, "He was made sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Now I ask this question, Whose are the sins that believers commit? When Christ became their sin, are they not his? and if they are his, are they any longer theirs, that did commit them? 2 Cor. 5:19, shews plainly, that the Lord reckons them no longer theirs, when he hath made them once to be Christ's; God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;  as much as to say, "I will never reckon them thine any more; I will never impute them to thee; all that I look for in respect of thy sins, I look for at the hands of Christ; "for he was made sin for us," saith the text." - Tobias Crisp
