A Clear Road

I'm a big fan of Charles Spurgeon's sermons. I was reading one the other day that was quite impactful about the false barriers that many people put up against making a commitment to Christ: Link to sermon

All too often we think that we need to be perfect or in the "right place" before we turn it all over to Christ, but as Spurgeon points out it isn't about us, its about what Christ has done. Sanctification will come and is an important part of the Christian walk, but the initial saving grace (or justification) doesn't depend on our worth, but the worth of the Lamb that was slain.
