A snatch of a hymn quoted by Charles Spurgeon in today's Chequebook of the Bank of Faith entry captures it well:
“Were I a martyr at the stake
I’d plead my Saviour’s name;
Intreat a pardon for his sake,
And urge no other claim.”
That is it. Faith's conviction is that Jesus is enough.

And once again, I wish blogs had a "like" button.
Good reminder today - needed that more than hithers and thithers.
My favorite hymn has always been "The Solid Rock." On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. I had to preach a funeral of a good friend a few years back, and the majority of the audience were not believers. I chose that hymn for the closing song, as it really does sum up the Gospel gloriously.
Oh, amen, amen. "I dare not trust the sweetest frame / But wholly lean on Jesus' name." Amen.
