I have paid all, because my surety has paid all

What challenges Satan or conscience can make against the believer—hear an answer; I was condemned, I was judged, I was crucified for sin, when my surety Christ was condemned, judged, and crucified for my sins—I have paid all, because my surety has paid all.

— Samuel Rutherford, quoted by Edward Fisher in
The Marrow of Modern Divinity
