“Our sin must be extremely horrible. Nothing reveals the gravity of sin like the cross. . . . It is impossible for us to face Christ’s cross with integrity and not to feel ashamed of ourselves. . . . For if there was no way by which the righteous God could righteously forgive our unrighteousness, except that he should bear it himself in Christ, it must be serious indeed.”
John Stott, The Cross of Christ
~Of First Importance
If we take the cross seriously, we will automatically take our sin seriously, thus taking our fight against it seriously by the power of the Holy Spirit!
