Rest in Christ Jesus, "The LORD our Righteousness"
"It
is a gracious God who loves us before we were, who loves us in spite
of what we did in Adam, who loves us in spite of what we are as
sinners and what we do, who loves us with an everlasting love and
that never changes. He could only love us in this way with the love
which is in Christ Jesus!" -Gary
Shepard
"A
naked sinner can be clothed, but a sinner covered with his own
righteousness must be stripped. This is always true. We must be
stripped of all that has to do with self or we cannot be clothed with
that which pertains to God. We are called to live by faith; we can
see nothing with the eye of sense. The Lord Jesus has gone up on
high, and we are told to wait patiently for His appearing. God's Word
carried home to the heart in the power of the Holy Spirit is the
basis of confidence in all things: temporal and spiritual, present
and future. He tells us of Christ's completed sacrifice. We by grace
believe and commit our souls to the efficacy thereof, and we know we
shall never be disappointed." -Scott
Richardson
"Are
you afraid of the consequences of death, and what will come after?
Throw yourself upon God, in Christ, and you are safe. Christ's
righteousness is law-proof, death-proof, and judgment-proof."
-Augustus
Toplady
