DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the two monumental undertakings of Jesus
Christ: His suffering for the sins of the elect and His perfect
conformity to God's law. He explains that Christ bore the infinite wrath
of God for all the sins of His chosen ones, providing full satisfaction
for divine justice through His death. Additionally, Brooks highlights
that through Christ's obedience to the law, believers are qualified for
heaven. This dual act of suffering and obedience not only frees the
redeemed from hell but also grants them the promise of eternal life. The
sermon underscores the depth of Christ's sacrifice and the completeness
of His redemptive work.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, by once suffering, suffered for all

the sins of the elect--past, present, and to come. The

infinite wrath of God the Father fell on Him, for all the

sins of the chosen ones. The wrath of God was infinite

wrath, and the sufferings of Christ were infinite sufferings.

All the sins of God's people, in their absolute number,

from first to last, were laid upon Christ; who meritoriously

purchased perfect remission of all their sins.

There are two great things which Jesus Christ undertook

for His redeemed ones. The one was to make full satisfaction

to divine justice for all their sins--this He did by His suffering

and death. The other was to yield most absolute conformity

to the law of God, both in nature and life. By His suffering

and death, He has freed all His redeemed ones from hell.

By the imputation of His absolute conformity to the law of

God, He has qualified all the redeemed ones for heaven.
