Quoting Spurgeon 19
Quoted from "Divine Love and Its Gifts" #1096 MTP.
When a man sees that Jesus Christ took all his sins, and was punished for them, so that the man himself never can be punished again-when he understands that wondrous mystery of substitution, then he gets a consolation which serves him at all times, and in all weathers. Whatever may occur to him he flies to this refuge; and even though he may have fallen into great sin, he knows that the atonement was not made for sham sin, but for real sin; and he resorts again to that same fountain filled with blood, wherein he was once washed, resting fully assured that it will be equal to the washing of him as long as he shall be capable of sin. “Everlasting consolation!” There are some here present who have tried this consolation for forty or fifty years; dear brethren and sisters, I am sure you do not find it is any the weaker, but on the contrary you understand more of its strength. You are more happy to-day in falling back upon the love of God than you were, and at this moment you feel that in the absence of all other comforts it would suffice you to know that everlasting consolation which is given you in Christ Jesus.
