<TITLE>07. Par 41-46</TITLE>L-41 Not only is our sins forgiven, but they are buried in the Sea of Forgetfulness, to be remembered no more. "Buried, He carried our sins far away." No more can they be remembered, for they are gone. They're out of the eyes of God. They are paralyzed. They're divorced. They're put away. God don't remember them no more. What? The Church ought to rejoice this morning to know that our sins will no more be remembered. They are put in the Sea of Forgetfulness, into the grave of beyond any resurrection. They are dead forever and forgotten about. They are if they had never happened.
"Dying, He saved me. But buried, He carried my sins far away." He carried them so far till they went into the Sea of Forgetfulness. Oh, we know that those things are most surely believed among us, and they're most surely the truth. They are God's truth. All those great things were beyond human expressions. We could never express our gratitude for such things.

L-42 But, oh, that Easter, "Rising, He justified freely forever."
Living, He loved me. Dying, He saved me.
Buried, He carried my sins far away. (That was all right.)
But, rising, He justified...
What was that raising up? It was God's receipt that the bill's been paid. "Rising, He justified freely forever." Oh, what a Saviour, rising. What had God done? A man can suffer, a man can die, a man can be buried. But Easter was the greatest of them all, for it was God's endorsement, "My laws has been met; My requirement has been met by Him," He rose Him up from the dead. "Rising, He justified freely forever." Blessed be His Holy Name.

L-44 No wonder it brings emotions. No wonder the human heart cannot contain it. Oh, with our conquering faith we can stand yonder and say, "We're justified forever, freely," because He died and was buried, and God raised Him up again on Easter morning. Then God showed that it was accepted, all the things that He did. Every thing freely paid, you can go free now. "Rising, He justified freely forever." Oh, no one can never know, can never think of that great day when He rose up; and the Angels saw it; in the heavens of heavens the Angels sang the praises of God and rejoiced while the Old Testament saints in paradise shouted, "Hallelujah." "Rising, He justified." The heavens shook, the earth shook, paradise shook, and hell shook when that great Voice come forth, up from the grave He arose. "Rising, He justified freely forever." Oh, my.

L-45 And the saints that die in Him can sing this, when we look at that amazing grace down here, what He did see God's sealed endorsement, "A little while and the world will see Me no more, yet you'll see Me, for I'll raise from the dead and be with you, even in you, to the end of the world as a confirmation, as verification that what God said's true, and what I say is true," Jesus said. "I'll come in the form of the Holy Spirit. I will make My abode with you and live with you forever." Then the saints who has that resurrection hope in their heart, can sing this song,
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise.
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the sky, (with a perfect assurance, with the Seal of God, with a written receipt from God Himself),
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
Oh, no wonder they said:
Living, He loved me. Dying, He saved me.
Buried, He carried my sins far away. (Oh.)
Rising, He justified freely forever.

L-46 Sins are pardoned. All these sacrifices could've been mythical, all these sacrifices could've failed. But on Easter morning, when He rose up, God proved that He accepted It. No wonder it brings into my heart to a hallelujah. No wonder it makes men stand in the face of death, makes the people call those things which were not as though they were. For why? "Rising, He justified." How do you know He's raised? 'Cause He's risen in our hearts: justified freely forever.
