Grace abounded

Excerpts from the sermon Grace Abounding Over Abounding Sin by C.H. Spurgeon

"The law of God is the [mirror] in which a man sees the spots upon his face. It does not wash you – you cannot wash in a [mirror]; but it prompts you to seek the cleansing water. The design of the law is the revealing of our may offences, that , thereby, we may be driven out or self-righteousness to the Lord Jesus , in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.

The law enters to strip us of every cloak of justification, and so to drive us to seek the robe of Christ’s righteousness.

The law stirs the mud at the bottom of the pool to show how foul the waters are.
But the great Christ, the free gift of God to us, when He bare our sins in His own body on the tree, took all those countless sins away. “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world”! Here is infinite grace to pardon immeasurable sin! Truly the “one man’s offence” abounded horribly; but the “one man’s obedience,” the obedience of the Son of God, hath superabounded. As the arch of heaven far exceedeth in its span the whole round globe of the earth, so doeth the grace much more abound over human sin." -- Charles Spurgeon
