Confident Expectation

“It is the will of God, that they who approach to him in Christ, should draw near in full assurance of faith, or with a certain persuasion, and confident expectation of success and acceptance.” -- E. Erskine

Would that more believers in the church today come to understand this glorious truth and thus be turned away from an excessive, morbid introspection and a preoccupation with themselves and instead look outside of themselves to Christ, who is their life, assurance, righteousness, sanctification and redemption! --J. Fonville
