No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
From 'And Can It Be' by Charles Wesley 1738
J.I. Packer puts it like this: when you realize that God has taken you from the gutter, so to speak, and made you a son in his house - you, a miraculously pardoned offender, guilty, ungrateful, defiant, perverse as you were - your sense of God's 'love beyond degree' is more than words can express..
so true.
