The Work of Christ in His Flesh

Christ, Who is God, by taking flesh, united the elect by His flesh to Himself and so they became one with God as God and Christ are one, John 17:22-23. So that the flesh of Christ, which was the life and substance of all (in an unspeakable manner) became one with the perfection of the Divine and Infinite Being which lay hid under this veil, that is to say His flesh, Hebrews 10:20.

By the power of His Divine nature Christ made reconciliation in His human nature, so that by the power of His Divine nature, He might make satisfaction in and by the human. Because of this union, there was an infinite value and worth in Christ’s blood. Therefore, it is called, “...the precious blood of Christ.” (1 Peter 1:19) Yea, the very blood of God, Acts 20:28. So that we may not know Christ simply after the flesh but in the flesh and in the Spirit together, 2 Corinthians 5:16. The time when He washed away their sins was when He shed His blood. For in His blood shed they were washed away. Christ’s blood and their sins went away together. The cause of why He took their sins away was His love which was in Himself and nothing in us or done by us that could move Him to die for us.
