“We are old enough oftimes, after hours of thinking and of labour, but we sleep, and we wake refreshed, as though we were beginning a new life.” - Charles Spurgeon, Spurgeon Library@SpurgeonMBTS
Forgiveness is not simply ignoring something sinful, but for loves sake deliberately releasing the offender from his obligation to suffer the penalty and make restitution. A repentant offender may need to make restitution as a part of reconciliation, but our offer of forgiveness is not contingent on that. - Patrick H Morrison, Forgive as the Lord forgave you, Page 10
“The God of the believer is never far from him; he is not merely the God of the mountain fastnesses, but of the dangerous valleys and battle plains.-Spurgeon on Psalm 11:4
The Lord has now arranged a new covenant of a different character. It is made with Christ Jesus, the second Adam, and with all whom he represents. It is on this wise: “You, Jesus, shall keep the law, and you shall also suffer a penalty for all the breaches of my law by all who are in you. If you do this, all those who are in you shall live eternally.”- Charles Spurgeon
