By many who rejoice in stating the Gospel message with the utmost simplicity, Christ’s presence before God now, is stated to be His receipt for all the believer’s sins. What is meant is, that the pierced hands and feet of our Lord still speak in the presence of God of His finished work for every believer, as plainly as the stamp on a bill settles all question as to whether it has still to be paid. Hence the believer who rests in perfect peace in the knowledge that Christ is in the presence of God for him, in spite of all his past sins, may be compared to the man who can enjoy a sound sleep though a thousand pounds worth of bills are in the room, from the simple fact that each one bears a receipt stamp.
