Look to Calvary

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. – Acts 16:31

Ah! does (the Holy Ghost) not whisper to the heart, “Saint, be of good cheer; there is one who died for thee; look to Calvary, behold His wounds, see the torrent gushing from His side-there is thy purchaser, and thou art secure. He loves thee with an everlasting love, and this chastisement is meant for thy good; each stroke is working thy healing; by the blueness of the wound thy soul is made better.” “Whom He loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.” Doubt not His grace, because of thy tribulation; but believe that He loveth thee as much in seasons of trouble, as in times of happiness. And then, moreover, He says, “What is all thy suffering compared with that of thy Lord’s? or what, when weighed in the scales of Jesus’ agonies, is all thy distress? And especially at times does the Holy Ghost take back the veil of heaven, and lets the soul behold the glory of the upperworld! Then it is that the saint can say, “O Thou art a Comforter to me!”

Whosoever believeth on the name of Jesus Christ shall be saved.” Sin is no barrier; thy guilt is no obstacle. Whosoever-though he were as black as Satan, though he were filthy as a fiend-whosoever this night believes, shall have every sin forgiven, shall have every crime effaced; shall have every iniquity blotted out; shall be saved in the Lord Jesus Christ, and shall stand in heaven safe and secure. That is the glorious gospel. God apply it to your hearts and give you faith in Jesus! ~ C.H. Spurgeon
