It is blessed to know that, having believed the gospel of our salvation, our sins were not only put away, but "sin in the flesh" was condemned, or fudged, in the death of Christ (Romans 8:3), so the believer is in a new standing before God. He is no longer looked upon as in Adam, or as having any connection with Adam, but he is "in Christ" before God, in new creation where "all things are become new. And all things are of God” (2 Cor. 5:17-18). In salvation there is not only forgiveness, but deliverance from our whole state in Adam.
