“All of my sins have been forever obliterated by the blood of Christ.”

—John Owen
“Preach Christ’s life as much as you will, but never apart from his death.

Creatures no help could give,
But Jesus passed me in the way,
He saw, and bid me live.

—Herman Bavinck
It was not persecutions and prisons, but worldliness and wantonness that poisoned the church: neither was it the earthly glory of its professors, but the blood of its martyrs that was the seed of the church.

Any one of us, no matter how outcast or vile, can go boldly into the Holy of Holies on the ground of the shed blood, and the best man or woman that ever walked this earth can meet God on no other ground than the shed blood.

Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.
