Reckoned Righteous » sin http://reckonedrighteous.com On the cross, God treated Jesus as if He had lived my life ... so he could treat me as if I had lived Jesus' life.

Oh, I’m into everything I hate
My spirit is not fooled
My members take the bait
Oh, I’m into everything I hate
Still not dead enough
To stifle this debate

Smalltown Poets, “Everything I Hate”

Or, as someone else put it: Who will deliver me from the body of this death?

I suspect that the reason the Ten Commandments begin with the commandment “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3) and ends with the commandment “You shall not covet” (Exodus 20:17) is that they are essentially the same commandment. They bracket the other eight and reveal their source.

Read the whole thing.
