Salvation in Christ Jesus “The LORD our righteousness” ~ Rejoice
“The
religious professor receives doctrines because he sees them in the
Bible. The believer not only sees them in the Bible, but he feels
them in his heart, put there by the Holy Spirit. The believer gets at
truth through trouble. He arrives at the banquet of mercy through
sharp pangs of hunger. He lays hold of the robe of righteousness
chilled by nakedness. He comes to the cross because he is guilty and
there is nowhere else to go. Thus the religionist and the believer
(however else they may resemble one another) have an eternal
distinction which the hand of God has drawn between the living and
the dead.”
