1 " We are forgiven, that we may be like Him who forgives us. "
― Horatius Bonar , Everlasting Righteousness
2 " Sin is too great an evil for man to meddle with. His attempts to remove it do but increase it, and his endeavours to approach God in spite of it aggravate his guilt. "
3 " For we are not saved by believing in our own salvation, nor by believing anything whatsoever about ourselves. We are saved by what we believe about the Son of God and His righteousness. The gospel believed saves; not the believing in our own faith. "
4 " Faith is the acknowledgment of the entire absence of all goodness in us, and the recognition of the cross as the substitute for all the want on our part. Faith saves, because it owns the complete salvation of another, and not because it contributes anything to that salvation. "
5 " Stripe for stripe is human law; "by His stripes we are healed" is superhuman, the result of a legislation as gracious as it is divine. "
6 " The voice from the tree did not summon them to do, but to be satisfied with what was done "
7 " The believed gospel saves; but it is the believed promise that assures us of this salvation. "
8 " The voice from the tree did not summon them to do, but to be satisfied with what was done. "
