Spurgeon's Sermons Charles Spurgeon

It is well for us to know that whenever Jesus Christ draws near to a soul He comes in utmost mercy to make it clean. Because He is, in Himself, the Incarnation of ineffable Love, His coming always means that He is about to purify the soul, for the highest mercy is to rid us of sin. The grandest thing that God, Himself, can do in the purpose of His love is to purify us into His own glorious holiness! Christ loved His Church and this is how He showed it-"He gave Himself for it, that He might present it to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing."
