True Religion

This is religion, "to build all upon the everlasting mountains of God's love and grace in Christ, to look continually at Christ's infinite righteousness and merits, to see the full guilt and defilement of sin pardoned and washed away; in these views to pray, hear, etc., knowing your polluted self, and all your weak performances, accepted continually; in these views to trample upon all self-righteousness, and to be found continually in the righteousness of Christ only (Philippians 3:9), that Christ alone, as Mediator, may be exalted in His throne; mourning over all your duties which you have not performed, in the sight and sense of Christ's love." Without the blood of Christ on the conscience, all is dead service (Hebrews 9:14).
