I stand in the Divine presence as Joshua stood before the Saviour, charged, accused, guilty; but I am in the presence of him who, though now he sits upon the throne as my Judge, once hung upon the cross as my Saviour. And, investing me with his own spotless robe, he proceeds to pronounce the sentence—“NO CONDEMNATION!” “These things write I unto you that your joy may be full.”

The Son of God, by an act of divine power, became human;—the saints of God, by an act of sovereign grace, become divine.

"Oh, what a scene of joy will that be when, emerging from gloom and impurity of the grave, the dead in Christ shall find themselves bathing in the golden beams, and inhaling the heavenly odour, of the morning of the "first resurrection." No demon of darkness shall shade its glory with his raven wing. No wail of despair shall blend with its entrancing music..."

"Is Jesus alive? Then let what else die, our life, with all its supports, and consolations, and hopes, is secure in him. "Because I live, you also shall live." A living spiring is he. Seasons vary, circumstances change, feelings fluctuate, friendships cool, friends die, but Christ is ever the same." Winslow, Octavius. No Condemnation in Christ Jesus. Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 1991.

"Lord, make me more earnest for the salvation of souls, for the advancement of your kingdom. Grant me this evidence of being thine—the possession of your Spirit, constraining me to a more simple and unreserved consecration of [...] myself, to the establishment of your truth, the advancement of your cause, and thus to the wider diffusion of your glory in the earth." - O. Winslow, inspired by Romans 8:9
