“Well, Margie, how does the matter stand between you and God?”
“Well, sir, bless His holy name, there is no matter between us now; it’s all settled.”
“All settled? Who has settled it, Margie?”
“Why, sir, God and the Lord Jesus settled it between them.”
“Do you think the matter is settled?”
“I don’t think; I am sure it is settled, for He said on the cross, ‘It is finished.’ (John 19:3030When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. (John 19:30).) He died under the judgment of God for my sins. He took the judgment for me. ‘He loved me, and gave Himself for me.’ It is plain to me at least. It was these three blessed facts: “Sins blotted out (Isa. 44:2222I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. (Isaiah 44:22)); sins forgiven (Acts 13:3838Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (Acts 13:38)); and sins remembered no more (Heb. 10:1717And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 10:17)).”
