There is therefore now no condemnation

"...He who believes is not condemned and cannot be punished. And more, all of those privileges that you might have enjoyed, if you had never sinned, are now yours, because you are justified. All the blessings which you would have had if you had kept the law are yours, because Christ has kept it for you. All the love and acceptance that perfect obedience could have obtained from God belong to you, because Christ was perfectly obedient in your behalf has imputed all His merits to your account, that you might be exceedingly rich through him who for your sake became exceedingly poor."

From the new ESV version of Spurgeon's Evening by Evening
