XXIX Jesus upon the cross. Besides this, during the wliole of his life upon earth, he honored the law of God by a perfect obedience, and thus became entitled himself to all the rewards of righteousness. Christ Jesus, therefore, as the Saviour, and in the place or room of the sinner, made himself perfectly righteous in the sight of the law : negatively righteous, inasmuch as he had discharged fully all the penalties of the law ; and positively righteous, as by a perfect obedience he earned all t...he rewards of the law. Now the doctrine of the Scripture and the argument of the Catechism is, that God accepts and acknowledges this whole righteousness of Christ in place of, or as a substitute for, that right- eousness which the believer ought to have rendered in his own person, but could not ; so that in Christ, or through Christ, the believer, though himself a sinner, becomes perfectly righteous in the sight of the law, being set free from all its penalties and entitled to all its rewards. Thus the Catechism : " God grants and imputes to me the perfect satisfaction (that is the ex- piation), righteousness (that is the obedience), and holi- ness (that is the acceptableness) of Christ, even so as if I had never had nor committed any sins (because all his sins have been expiated), yea, as if I had fully accomplished all that obedience which Christ hath ac- complished for me." He says, God " grants " this righteousness, because it was of mere grace that God provided this righteous- ness ; it was his purpose to save which led him to the provision of that righteousness ; and having provided it, he may bestow its benefits upon whom he will, although he promises and offers those benefits to all who will believe.
