Joy Through Imputed Righteousness
Robert Murray McCheyne
"And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." (Romans 5:11)
Our joy in God is peculiarly delightful because we are accepted through imputed righteousness. There is something inexpressibly pleasing to a justified mind, to know that God has all the honor of our salvation, and we have none - to know that God's honor is not violated, but on the contrary, shines more illustrious - to know that God's law is not injured, but magnified and made honorable - to know that we are safe, and God has all the glory. Oh! this is a blessed assurance.
