Suppose that in the next few minutes you were to be in God’s presence. What about it, friends? This life is past. You maybe lived to please people, tried to keep up with the Joneses. But that’s ended now, you’re in His presence. How are you going to stand before Him? Don’t you know that you can’t stand in your own strength, your own life, your own character? You and I haven’t anything to offer to Him at all. We stand before Him because He was delivered for our offences. He paid the penalty. Now we stand before Him in the righteousness of Christ. And that, my friend, is the only basis that we can stand before Him.
