My hope does not live because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died. My trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, He is my righteousness. My faith does not rest upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what he is now doing for me. Charles Spurgeon, When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave, then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to save. William Cowper.

It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus, our Lord, who has delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1.
