“The moment a man realizes that he is only a pilgrim in this world, that finally he has to die and to face God, and that there is all eternity before him, his whole outlook on life changes. Immediately the church is able to tell him that, although for so long he has been so wrong, he can be forgiven. The church’s central message is the doctrine of forgiveness, based upon the fact that ‘God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life’ (John 3:16).”
David Martin Lloyd-Jones (Healing and the Scriptures, pp. 67-68)
