In the Sinners Place

“This is the paradox of grace. He who insists he is right will be pronounced wrong, while he who admits he is wrong will be declared right. The righteousness of God is only given to those who stand in the sinners place.”

- Stanley Voke, Personal Revival (Waynesboro, Ga.: OM Literature, nd), 24.

From: Of First Importance

Isn't this just the essential of the Gospel?

Okay Lord - I admit who I am. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner! This sinner clings to the Cross, and to Him who sits on the Mercy Seat.

Amen.
