"The magnitude of the love, grace, and mercy revealed in the gospel, the glory of Christ's person and the perfection of his work both finished and continued, the sufficiency of Christ for all our needs, and the blessedness that accrues from believing response, all combine to make rejection an iniquity of incomparable gravity. Christ offers himself in the glory of his person, in the fulness of his grace, in the perfection of his finished work, and in the efficacy of his heavenly ministry. So the glory demands the response of total commitment to him."

-- John Murray, Collected Writings II, 256.
