V. 15, 17. * Note O. S 2 Cor. V. 18-21. Note P Vl -] the Testimony of St. Paul. 263 which in Christ's stead, and as Christ's ambassador, he could entreat men to be reconciled to God. God reconciles us to Himself, according to St. Paul, not in the first instance by delivering us from sin, but by not imputing our sins to us : the reconciliation is primarily, not the removal of our hostility to God, but the ces- sation of God's hostility to us. The ground of this reconciliation lies in the fact th...at God made Christ to be Sin for us, and its ultimate result is that we are made the righteousness of God in Him. I ask again is the proof complete ? St. Paul was a great preacher, and whatever wealth and variety of spiritual knowledge appeared in his preaching, the cross of Christ was the centre of it all, and he taught that " Christ died for our sins. " He had to maintain an incessant controversy for many years with those who were endeavouring to cramp the freedom of the new and larger faith by imposing on Christian Gentiles the obligations of the Jewish law ; and he maintained that the law could never give eternal life, but could only bring a curse upon all who were under its authority, but that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by being made a curse for us.
