How many are mine iniquities and sins?
Job 13:23
"Have you ever really weighed and considered how great the sin of God's people is?
Think how heinous is your own transgression, and you will find that not only does a sin here and there tower up like an alp, but that your iniquities are heaped upon each other, ....
What an aggregate of sin there is in the life of one of the most
sanctified of God's children! Attempt to multiply this, the sin of one only, by the multitude of the redeemed, and you will have some conception of the great mass of the guilt of the people for whom Jesus shed His blood.
No human mind can adequately estimate the infinite value of the divine sacrifice, for great as is the sin of God's people, the atonement which takes it away is immeasurably greater.
Therefore, the believer, even when sin rolls like a black flood, and the remembrance of the past is bitter, can yet stand before the blazing throne of the great and holy God, and cry, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea rather, that hath risen again."
Charles Spurgeon
