Himself to withstand.<br />

No matter who you are or where you are, you<br />

can know that One has stood exactly <strong>in</strong> your place,<br />

"yet without s<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g." Look at Him, "see" Him,<br />

with all those clouds of deception blown away by<br />

<strong>the</strong> truth of His righteousness "<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> likeness of<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ful flesh." Believe that <strong>the</strong> s<strong>in</strong> that allures you<br />

has been "condemned <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> flesh." You can<br />

overcome, through that faith <strong>in</strong> Him.<br />

And not only 2000 years ago is He a Saviour.<br />

The good news is that He is work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>cessantly to<br />

make effective for us what He accomplished long<br />

ago. This work is not someth<strong>in</strong>g tak<strong>in</strong>g place<br />

millions of light-years away. He is "a very present<br />

help <strong>in</strong> trouble.'' See Psalm 46:1.<br />

We must now search for that l<strong>in</strong>k that b<strong>in</strong>ds<br />

justification by faith to <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>istry of Christ <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

heavenly sanctuary.<br />
