Psalms 32:2. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
He is blessed twice over; God multiplies the blessing, He blesses him effectually, he blesses him emphatically, he blesses him in body, he blesses him in soul. He is blessed; he has iniquities, but God does not impute them to him. They have been of old imputed to Another, who stood in the sinner’s place, and bore the sinner’s guilt, and put it all away by his own expiatory sufferings. Therefore, as these deeds were put to Christ’s account, they are not laid to the account of the Lord’s people: "Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity." But even pardon and deliverance from guilt would not be sufficient; to make a man blessed if they stood alone, for, as long as our heart is full of sin and deceit, and follows crooked ways, there can be no true rest to us. Renee the blessedness comes to the man "in whose spirit there is no guile," - no falsehood. The guile and the guilt have gone together, and the gall is gone, to, Now the man is truthful, so he confesses his sin; he is also trustful, so he lays hold on the sinner’s Substitute, and thus he finds peace. Dear friends, do you all know this blessedness? If you do not, I pray that you may, for it is heaven begun below, - the heaven of a poor sinner whose sin is covered, and whose heart is purified from guile. Now see the way by which we come to this blessedness: -
