Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. -Hebrews 10:22

I have often told you, my dear brethren and sisters, that when you get a little above the ground, if it is only an inch, you get too high. When you begin to think that surely you are a saint, and that you have some good thing to trust to, that rotten stuff must all be pulled to pieces. Believe me, God will not let His people wear a rag of their own spinning; they must be clothed with Christ’s righteousness from head to foot. The old heathen said he wrapped himself up in his integrity, but I should think he did not know what holes there were in it, or else he would have looked for something better. But we wrap ourselves in the righteousness of Christ, and there is not a cherub before the throne that wears a vestment so right royal as the poor sinner does when he wears the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Oh! child of God, always live upon your Lord. Hang upon Him, as the pitcher hangs upon the nail. Lean on your Beloved; His arm will never weary of you. Stay yourselves upon Him; wash in the precious fountain always; wear His righteousness continually; and be glad in the Lord, and your gladness need never fail while you simply and wholly lean upon Him.

Oh! happy is that man who gets right into the wounds of Jesus, and, with Thomas, cries, “My Lord and my God!” This is no, fanaticism, but a thing of sober, sound experience with some of us. We can rejoice in Him, having no confidence in the flesh. Oh! to be like that-not to be far away from Jesus Christ, even with all the comforts of this life, but to be near Him, filled with life and sacred activity through the abundance of fellowship and communion with Him. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
