(Charles Spurgeon)
" Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are
forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. "
Romans 4:7-8
Too many think lightly of sin--and therefore think lightly
of the Savior.
He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned,
with the rope around his neck--is the man . . .
to weep for joy when
he is pardoned,
to hate the evil
which has been forgiven him, and
to live to the honor
of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.
If Christ has died for me--then I cannot trifle with the sin
which killed my best Friend!
Look to the cross, and hate your sin--for sin nailed your
Well-Beloved to the tree!
"A bleeding Savior I have viewed--and now I hate my
sin!"
I feel that, if I could live a thousand lives, I would like
to live them all for Christ; and I would even then feel that they were all too
little a return for His great love to me!
