If God has done a work for me, witnessed to by the Holy Ghost, in my conscience, I could not have a doubt of its perfection. All God's character, His holiness and love, are united and bound up in it; if it is not received by me, I am lost forever.
The presenting the blood is one thing, the appropriation of it by the sinner is another. The moment I can say to Him who died, " Thou hast washed me in thy blood," I have appropriated it by faith; but if I say, " I want to be the servant of Christ, as well as being washed in His blood," I shall give the proof of being set apart by the blood to live only unto Him.
Without a purged conscience it is impossible to go into the place where worship is; for that place is where God and the Lamb are, and nowhere else. A purged conscience is the first element in the soul of a worshipper.
Faith not only supposes light shining down, but the Lord giving to the soul power to receive it.
