Spurgeon: Now, at this moment, every believer here is accepted in the Beloved. That precious Christ, who has satisfied God on our behalf, has now become our satisfaction too. He who offered himself to God, an offering of a sweet smell, has become to us our meat indeed, and our drink indeed. As the Father feels an intense satisfaction in the life, work, and death of his dear Son, we find the very same kind of satisfaction after our measure and degree. Is it not most delightful to think that it is a part of my life’s privilege, as a child of God, to live as an accepted worshipper, dear to the heart of God? It is a high joy to know that my prayers and praises, my soul’s high desires to honour her God, her sighs, her tears, and her works, are all accepted of God.
