The Gospel Lifts the Burden of Our Guilt

"The gospel can lift this destroying burden [of guilt for sin] from the mind, give beauty for ashes, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. But unless the weight of the burden is felt the gospel can mean nothing to the man; and until he sees a vision of God high and lifted up, there will be no woe and no burden.

"Low views of the God destroy the gospel for all who hold them."

-- A.W. Tozer, "Knowledge of the Holy"
