“Remember… it is not your hold on Christ that saves you—it is Christ; it is not your joy in Christ that saves you—it is Christ: it is not even your faith in Christ, though that be the instrument—it is Christ’s blood and merits; therefore, look not so much to your hand with which you are grasping Christ, as to Christ; look not to your hope but to Jesus, the source of your hope; look not to your faith, but to Jesus, the author and finisher of faith. We will never find happiness by looking at our own prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul” (C.H. Spurgeon)
