My pastor read this quote before communion this week. What a wonderful reminder...
God’s people can never by any possibility be punished for their sins. God has punished them already in the person of Christ. Christ, their substitute, has endured the full penalty for all their guilt, and neither the justice nor the love of God can ever exact again that which Christ has paid. Punishment can never happen to a child of God in the judicial sense. He can never be brought before God as his Judge, as charged with guilt, because that guilt was long transferred to the shoulders of Christ . . .
Charles Spurgeon
