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, ... mountain upon mountain.
Attempt to multiply this, the sin of one only, by the multitude of the redeemed, a number which no man can number, and you will have some conception of the great mass of the guilt of the people for whom Jesus shed His blood.
And yet He takes upon Himself the form of a servant,
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."
Charles Spurgeon

What an aggregate of sin there is in the life of one of the most sanctified of God's children!
It is the blood of Jesus Christ, God's only and well-beloved Son.
God's Son!
Angels cast their crowns before Him!
All the choral symphonies of heaven surround His glorious throne.
and is scourged and pierced,
bruised and torn,
and at last slain;
since nothing but the blood of the incarnate Son of God could make atonement for our offences. 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."
