Sin mingles even with our holy things, and our best repentance, faith, prayer, and thanksgiving could not be received of God were it not for the merit of the atoning sacrifice.
Charles Spurgeon

William Bridge

There is not a word in the Bible, which is extra crucem, which can be understood without reference to the cross. The cross runs through the whole of Scripture.
Martin Luther

naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die.
Augustus M. Toplady from "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me" (1740-1778)
