><>...Good evening Mark...><> “How many are mine iniquities and sins?” — Job 13:23 Have you ever really weighed and considered how great the sin of God's people is? Think how heinous is your own transgression, and you will find that not only does a sin here and there tower up like an alp, but that your iniquities are heaped upon each other, as in the old fable of the giants who piled Pelian upon Ossa, mountain upon mountain. What an aggregate of sin there is in the life of one of the most sanctified of God's children! Attempt to multiply this, the sin of one only, by the multitude of the redeemed, “a number which no man can number,” and you will have some conception of the great mass of the guilt of the people for whom Jesus shed his blood. But we arrive at a more adequate idea of the magnitude of sin by the greatness of the remedy provided. It is the blood of Jesus Christ, God's only and well-beloved Son. God's Son! Angels cast their crowns before him! All the choral symphonies of heaven surround his glorious throne. “God over all, blessed for ever. Amen.” And yet he takes upon himself the form of a servant, and is scourged and pierced, bruised and torn, and at last slain; since nothing but the blood of the incarnate Son of God could make atonement for our offences. No human mind can adequately estimate the infinite value of the divine sacrifice, for great as is the sin of God's people, the atonement which takes it away is immeasurably greater. Therefore, the believer, even when sin rolls like a black flood, and the remembrance of the past is bitter, can yet stand before the blazing throne of the great and holy God, and cry, “Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea rather, that hath risen again.” While the recollection of his sin fills him with shame and sorrow, he at the same time makes it a foil to show the brightness of mercy—guilt is the dark night in which the fair star of divine love shines with serene splendour. Spurgeon, Charles May you and all who read this be at peace while searching your soul, and be thankful to God our Father for His Son Jesus the Christ! Love in Christ Shalom...><>

Mark, Just found this post of yours that I never answered. I felt that your humble apology had the grace of God in it. Humility-a broken spirit and a contrite heart-are the dwelling places of God. When confronted with wrongdoing, some seek only to justify themselves, but you an unbeliever simply apologies. Very impressive. I hope that all is well with you and your family. Have you accepted the Lord Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour yet? If not, I pray that God the father will open your heart to the full reality and saving power of Jesus. The Lord Jesus loves you and continues to call you. Somehow I have a suspicion that God has been doing a tremendous work in your life since we spoke last. Anyway, au revoir and my hope is that we will one day meet in the Kingdom of God washed in the blood of Christ. Emile
