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!"
Is your faith resting in Christ? We know that we are sinners and Christ died for our sins. We are not trusting in self-righteousness. Faith is resting in the righteousness of Christ alone. He is our righteousness.
Spurgeon taught that faith is "in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing." That's faith resting in Christ. We are saved "looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2).
Is your faith resting with confidence and assurance in Christ? It is trusting in Christ and not in yourself. It is knowing Christ as your Surety (Hebrews 7:22). He is your guarantee of eternal salvation.
Your faith should 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!"
Yes, your faith should rest in Christ. You can confess, "I am a sinner for whom Christ died." You are focused 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 your living Lord.
