The law is not made for a righteous man, to condemn him. 1 Timothy 1:9.

For he being dead to the law, by the death of Christ, and living to God in eternal righteousness, innocence, life, and happiness; the law can condemn him no more than a dead man, or one that liveth in heaven already, nay, Christ himself; for it condemns only the sin, but he is in Christ without sin, since he has him who has taken away the sins of the whole world, and consequently his sins also. But the sin being abolished, the wrath and curse of the law is also removed, and grace and blessing restored in its place. Christ has taken all sins upon himself, and imparted his own perfect obedience to the law to him; therefore, in Christ, he has fully satisfied all the demands of the law, and can be entirely free from its dreadful denunciations in his conscience. The blood of Christ cleansing us from all sins, and consequently from an evil conscience. Hebrews 9:9-14. Hebrews 10:22. Being sprinkled and covered with his blood and golden robes of grace, the Lord is perfectly pleased, and does not find fault with us any more. It makes intercession for us with God, crying continually, as Luther observes, Abba, abba, mercy mercy, peace, peace, and obtains grace, pardon, life and salvation.

Blood has a voice to pierce the skies,
Revenge, the blood of Abel cries:
But the dear stream when Christ was slain
Speaks peace as loud from every vein.

Pardon and peace from God on high,
Behold he lays his vengeance by;
And rebels that deserve his sword
Become the favorites of the Lord.
