Charles Spurgeon wrote, "My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!"
Rest in Christ alone and not in yourself. We know that we are sinners and Christ died for our sins. Do not trust in self-righteousness. Faith can only rest in the righteousness of Christ. He is your righteousness. In Christ your faith finds rest.
Spurgeon taught faith is "in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing." That's our rest in Christ alone. Jesus says to you, "Come unto me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
Faith will rest with confidence and assurance in Christ alone, and not in yourself? Faith is knowing Christ as your Surety (Hebrews 7:22). Rest in Christ alone as your guarantee of eternal salvation.
Can you testify with Spurgeon, "My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!"
Do you rest in Christ alone? Confess, "I am a sinner for whom Christ died." Focus your faith upon Christ crucified for your sins. No self-righteousness do you claim. You know by faith that Christ died for your sins. He is risen from the dead as our living Lord.
