“When thinking of my state before God the question is not, Am I perfect in myself before the law? but, Am I perfect in Christ Jesus?
That is a very different matter.
We need not enquire, Am I without sin naturally? but, Have I been washed in the fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness? It is not Am I in myself well pleasing to God? but it is Am I accepted in the Beloved?”
- Charles Spurgeon, Morning & Evening, September 6
