Spurgeon: The gospel of substitution makes him to be our refuge who otherwise would have been our judge.


C.H. Spurgeon with a short, but oh so sweet reminder of the wonderful grace of God we see in Psalm 32 (comments from The Treasury of David)

You are a hiding place for me;  you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Psalm 32:7

Observe that the same man who in the fourth verse was oppressed by the presence of God, here finds a shelter in him. See what honest confession and full forgiveness will do! The gospel of substitution makes him to be our refuge who otherwise would have been our judge.
