You have reason to wonder that you are not already in hell.

Jonathan Edwards

If there be ground for you to trust in your own righteousness, then, all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it is in vain.

Happiness Misery Ourselves Purchase Satisfaction
