“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.”
