"He hideth our unrighteousness with His righteousness, He covereth our disobedience with His obedience, He shadoweth our death with His death, that the wrath of God cannot find us." ~Henry Smith
"We all carry about in our very pockets, His nails." Martin Luther
"The idea of a substitionary Christ accepted as an outward covering or refuge, instead of the power of an endless life," is a cheat of the devil, and has been the ruin of thousands of souls. I fear this view of Christ, so persistently preached in the present day, encourages thousands in a false hope while they are living in sin, and consequently under the curse not only of a broken law, but of a Savior denied and abjured." Catherine Booth
"Our peace and confidence are to be found not in our empirical holiness, not in our progress toward perfection, but in the alien righteousness of Jesus Christ that covers our sinfulness and alone makes us acceptable before a holy God." Donald Bloesch
"Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want." Martin Luther
"There is no mystery in heaven or earth so great as this--a suffering Deity, and almight Savior nailed to a Cross." Sameul M. Zwemer
"The blood of Christ stands not simply for the sting of sin on God but the scourge of God on sin, not simply for God's sorrow over sin, but for God's wrath on sin." P.T. Forsyth
"When we think of the atonement we are apt to think only of what man gains. We must remember what it cost God and what it costs him now when men refuse his love." Frank Fitt
"For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. ~Romans 5:10-12
"Turn to God from idols. For the sword of His wrath that had been aimed at you has been sheathed into the heart of His Son. And the arrows of His anger that had been put against your breast were loosed into the Lord Jesus Christ. Because He has died for you, you were forgiven." ~Paris Reidhead
