And when by faith we are made one with Christ, 1then there is a spiritual communion of all things. Now upon our union with Christ, it is good to think what ill Christ hath taken upon him for me, and then to think my self freed from it, because Christ that took it on him, hath freed himself from it: whatsoever he is freed from, I am freed from it, it can no more hurt me then it can hurt him now in heaven: therefore when I think of sin, and hell, and damnation, and wrath, I see my self freed from it in Christ, he became poor to take this away from me, my sins were laid on him, and he is justified and acquitted from them all, and from death, and the wrath of God that he under went, and I am acquitted in him by virtue of my union with him, and the Devil can no more prejudice the salvation of a believer, then he can pull Christ out of heaven.
