"Because of the way that [Jesus] lived and the way that He died, because of His substitutionary sufferings and His vicarious obedience, the Lord our God accepts us. What a preciousness there is in Him to overcome our lack of preciousness! What a sweet fragrance to remove our bad aroma! What a cleansing power of His blood to take away sin such as ours! What glory in His righteousness to make such unacceptable creatures be 'accepted in the beloved.' (Eph. 1:6)"
--Spurgeon

"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."
Galatians 6:14
