"That Christ died for me, therefore I go scot free, is never taught in the New Testament. What is taught in the New Testament is that 'He died for all' (not - He died my death), and that by identification with His death I can be freed from sin, and have imparted to me His very righteousness. The substitution taught in the New Testament is twofold: 'He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.' It is not Christ for me unless I am determined to have Christ formed in me."
