The Mystery of the Cross Why was it a necessity for the LORD to lay on Christ the iniquity of His people before bruising Him? All our hope, brethren, is that the judge of all the earth shall do right! The whole purpose for which the Lord Jesus laid down His life was to declare […]
The essential difference between false and true religion is this: All false religion makes salvation to be ultimately dependent upon and determined by the worth, work, or will of the sinner; whereas true religion declares, with Jonah, “Salvation is of the Lord!” In its planning, in its purchase, in its performance, in its preservation, and […]
The greatest wonder in heaven, or earth, or even in hell! Spurgeon, “Open House for All Comers” No. 665.
