Christ did not die to win our sympathy, nor did He die to win our friendship. He died so that a holy God could save our souls. He died so that “GOD COULD BE JUST AND THE JUSTIFIER OF THE UNGODLY.” His death is not a PATTERN but a PAYMENT. His death is not an EXAMPLE, but an ATONEMENT. His death does not REVIVE US, but it REDEEMS US. If you are not saved, it is not because His blood is not sufficient nor does not have the power to save, but because you reject this remedy. God will not pardon without satisfaction by the blood of Christ. If you ever see this “Fountain opened,” you will cry with the woman of Samaria, “Give me this water, that I thirst no more.” - Milton Howard
