He is the substitute for self in the matter of our standing before God. As the first thing the Holy Spirit does is to set aside self in the matter of justification and acceptance, so His next is to present to us the Son of God as the true ground of our acceptance.
We no longer seek to be justified by self in any sense or on account
of anything done to self, on account of amended self or improved self or mortified self, but
solely on account of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us and Who rose again. And in
this Son of God, Whom we take as a substitute for self, we find an object worth living for,
someone we can carry through every part of our life and into every region of our life.
