The Christ Life

A man is saved because Christ died for him; he continues saved because Christ lives for him. The sole reason why the spiritual life abides is because Jesus lives. This is to get upon a rock, above the fogs which cover everything below. If my life rests on something within me, then today I live and tomorrow I die; but if my spiritual life rests in Christ, then in my darkest frames—aye, and when sin has most raged against my spirit— still I live in the ever-living One, whose life never changes. —Spurgeon
