DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the profound confidence believers should have
in Christ's ability to save, reflecting on the sacrificial love of Jesus
who lived a humble life and ultimately shed His blood for our
redemption. He draws a parallel between Abraham's faith in the covenant
and the assurance we should have in Christ, who sealed the eternal
covenant with His own death. Spurgeon encourages believers to rest in
this truth without fear, highlighting the certainty of salvation through
Jesus.

God dwelt among men in human flesh, you know it to be true that so it
was; Jesus, the Son of God, abode upon the earth throughout a lowly life
amidst poverty and shame, and (wonder of wonders), at last he poured out
his heart's blood for our redemption; and can we entertain a doubt of
his ability to save? Do we see those blood drops from his hand and
heart, sealing the everlasting covenant, and can we doubt?

Abraham had strong confidence when he saw the smoking furnace and the
burning lamp passing between the pieces of the slain victims, and what
ought our confidence to be when we behold the Lord Jesus Christ himself
ratifying the eternal covenant by his own death? Surely if the patriarch
could find rest in the sight of the type only, we ought to rest without
thought of fear.

From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "Strong Faith."
