Je sais que la mort de tout ce qui est péché en moi est la plus grande ambition de mon âme, oui, et la mort de tout ce qui est charnel et de tout ce qui rappelle le vieil Adam. Oh, que cela meure. Et où peut-il mourir si ce n'est aux pieds de Celui qui a la vie nouvelle, et qui, en se manifestant dans toute sa gloire, purifie nos scories et nos péchés ?
Charles H. Spurgeon, Consolation in Christ, 1860.
I know this, that the death of all that is sinful in me is my soul’s highest ambition, yes, and the death of all that is carnal and all that savors of the old Adam. Oh, that it would die. And where can it die but at the feet of Him who has the new life, and who by manifesting Himself in all His glory is to purge away our dross and sin?
Charles H. Spurgeon, Consolation in Christ, 1860.
