Stephen Charnock on John 1:29

   Posted by: CalvinandCalvinism   in John 1:29

Charnock:

The extent of it. Both to original and actual sin: John 1:29, ‘Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world;’ sin of the world, the sin of human nature, that first sin of Adam. Of this mind is Austin, and others, that original sin is not imputed to any to condemnation since the death of Christ. But howsoever this be, it is certain it is taken away from believers as to its imputation. Christ was ‘made sin for us,’ 2 Cor. 5:21, to bear all sin.

Stephen Charnock, “The Pardon of Sin,” in Works [1865], 5:443.
