It argues more grace to grieve for the sins of others than for our own. We may grieve for our own sins out of fear of hell, but to grieve for the sins of others is from a principle of love to God.

Charles H. Spurgeon
I find myself frequently depressed – perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.
Charles H. Spurgeon
En effet, l'Évangile n'exige pas expressément des œuvres propres par lesquelles nous deviendrions justes et serions sauvés ; il condamne même de telles œuvres. L'Évangile exige plutôt la foi en Christ : il a vaincu pour nous le péché, la mort et l'enfer, et nous donne ainsi la justice, la vie et le salut non pas par nos œuvres, mais par ses propres œuvres, sa mort et sa souffrance, afin que nous puissions nous prévaloir de sa mort et de sa victoire comme si nous l'avions fait nous-mêmes.
Martin Luther
For the gospel does not expressly demand works of our own by which we become righteous and are saved; indeed it condemns such works. Rather the gospel demands faith in Christ: that He has overcome for us sin, death, and hell, and thus gives us righteousness, life, and salvation not through our works, but through His own works, death, and suffering, in order that we may avail ourselves of His death and victory as though we has done it ourselves.
Martin Luther
Sinclair Ferguson, A Heart for God, 1987, p. 74-75.
How does Christ’s death on the Cross demonstrate God’s wisdom? In this way: Through the Cross, our sin is judged, yet sinful men and women are forgiven precisely because God has judged that sin in Jesus Christ instead of in us. God has done what seemed morally impossible in a way that demonstrates rather than denies His holiness and justice. That is why the Cross is the “trysting place, where Heaven’s love and Heaven’s justice meet.” The Cross is the expression of God’s loving genius.
Sinclair Ferguson, A Heart for God, 1987, p. 74-75.

Only when we are finding our ultimate satisfaction in God are we able to relate rightly to one another.

Martin Luther, A Meditation on Christ's Passion.
The real and true work of Christ’s passion is to make man conformable to Christ, so that man’s conscience is tormented by his sins in like measure as Christ was pitiably tormented in body and soul by our sins.
Martin Luther, A Meditation on Christ’s Passion.
Charles H. Spurgeon
There is mercy for a sinner, but there is no mercy for the man who will not own himself a sinner.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
As Christians we should never feel sorry for ourselves. The moment we do so, we lose our energy, we lose the will to fight and the will to live, and are paralyzed.

Randy Smith
People say to me, isn’t Christianity about following (implied: outdated and meaningless) rules? No! It’s about following Jesus which means living according to His nature so that our relationship with Him will be strong and our lives will be blessed. Don’t buy the lie! Not following Him is slavery. Following Him is liberation. Those weighed down with the most anxiety, guilt, shame and fear in life are those who are following Christ the least. External rules are a burden. There is no power to obey them. Rules do not change a heart. Our Lord changes our hearts. He gives us grace-empowerment. He provides purpose in doing it His way.

Donald S. Whitney
When Christ gives you soul-rest, there is rest for your conscience because He removes its sin-caused guilt. His soul-rest also includes rest for your mind because He reveals Himself as the truth of God. He ministers rest for your heart since it no longer has to frantically search for a haven of rest. There is rest in Him for your fears since your soul is in His loving, omnipotent hands for all eternity. Christ also provides rest for your sense of purpose now that you have Him to worship, love, and serve.
Donald S. Whitney
Jay Adams
It is common for a sinner to try to cover his wrongdoing by saying someone else made me act as I did.But regardless of how one person mistreats another, he cannot cause sinful anger, ulcers, worry in the one who is mistreated.Jesus didn’t get an ulcer on the cross. instead, He handled wrongdoing righteously.That is to say, when He prayed for those who were killing Him, He assumed His responsibility in the relationship. And, in every relationship, that is exactly what He calls on us to do.
Jay Adams
J.C. Ryle
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, follow Him more fully. Religion like this will always bring its own reward. Worldly people may laugh at it. Weak brethren may think it extreme. But it will wear well. At even time it will bring us light. In sickness it will bring us peace. In the world to come it will give us a crown of glory that will not fade away.
