Look! Look! Look with solemn eye through the shades that part us from the world of spirits, and see that house of misery which men call hell! You cannot endure the spectacle. Remember that in that place there are spirits forever paying their debt to divine justice; but though some of them have been for these four thousand years sweltering in the flame, they are no nearer a discharge than when they began; and when ten thousand times ten thousand years shall have rolled away, they will no more have made satisfaction to God for their guilt than they have done up till now.
And now can you grasp the thought of the greatness of your Savior's mediation when He paid your debt and paid it all at once; so that there now remaineth not one farthing of debt owing from Christ's people to their God, except a debt of love? Eternity would not have been long enough to paying our debt, yet in one moment Christ did pay it all, so that the man who believes is entirely justified from all guilt, and set free from all punishment, through what Jesus hath done. Think, then, how great His atonement if He has done all this for you.
~C. H. Spurgeon
