Grace on the Horizon

"Only when we turn away from looking at our sin to look at the face of God, to find his pardoning grace, do we begin to repent. Only by seeing that there is grace and forgiveness with him would we ever dare to repent and thus return to the fellowship and presence of the Father...Only when grace appears on the horizon offering forgiveness will the sunshine of the love of God melt our hearts and draw us back to him."

Sinclair Ferguson

"No sin can crucified in either heart or life unless it is first pardoned in conscience, because there will be a want of faith to recieve the strength of Jesus, by whom it alone can be crucified. If it be not mortified in it's guilt, it canot be subdued in it's power."

William Romaine

"We're changed when we look at Jesus, delight in Jesus, commune with Jesus." Tim Chester
