Neither His Nor Our Own

Neither His Nor Our Own

Ryan Bush:

For this very end was the son of God willingly made sin that we might be freed from the same. And if all our sins laid upon Christ could not take away God's love for him, shall they take away God's love from us when by Christ's blood, our souls are purged from them. Oh, mercy of all mercies that when we gave away ourselves for nothing and so became neither His nor our own, that then He would offer to be made sin and make us His by such a way as all the angels in heaven stand wondering at. He not only took our nature and miserable condition, but our sin upon Himself that being done away, we might through Christ have boldness with God as ours who is now in heaven appearing there for us until He brings His home to Himself and presents us to His father for His forever. Richard Sibbes.
