debt-book

Christ will show the debt-book crossed in his blood.

The Lord's Prayer 1692

Death, to a pardoned sinner, is like arresting a man after the debt is paid; it may arrest, but Christ will show the debt-book crossed in his blood.

The Lord's Prayer 1692

Sin being such a debt as we must eternally lie in the prison of hell for, if it be not discharged, should we not be earnest with God to cross the debt-book with the blood of his Son?

The Lord's Prayer 1692

Now, it is no shame for us to live and die in the debt of Christ; the heaven of angels and men is an house of the debtors of Christ, eternally engaged to him, and shall stand in his debt-book ages without end.

The Hebrew word, to blot out, alludes to a creditor who, when his debtor has paid him, blots out the debt, and gives him an acquittance; so when God forgives sin, he blots out the debt, he draws the red lines of Christ’s blood over it, and so crosses the debt-book.

The Lord's Prayer 1692

‘Behold, it is written before me,’ and one day God’s debt-book will be opened.

The Lord's Prayer 1692
