Extract: Adam or Christ

I can trace everything connected with my circumstances, and what I am here, to the first Adam; but, connected with all my blessing in Christ, I have to go up there where my life is hid with Him in God. How wondrous the grace of God! His mercy does not rest merely in the cleansing blood, vast as that blessing is, but it puts poor sinners into association with the Son, in life above (Col. 3:33For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3)). God reckoned to Him our guilt, and if we are freed from guilt and in association with Christ in life, we get power from Him to walk as living men.
