Count that God for Christ's sake has forgiven you, and walk out and in at your daily occupation as dear children of our Father in heaven. Count that the Judge has no charge against you, because it has all been discharged by the blood of Christ. This belief animating your soul will make your face shine among your fellows,—will make you happy within your own heart, obedient to God, and beneficent to men. To have your sins all blotted out from God's judgment-book through the blood of Christ, is the greatest fact of human history; and the belief of it is the greatest motive that can be brought to bear in behalf of goodness on a human heart.
William Arnot — Sermon XVII, "The Cleansing Blood," on 1 John 1:7, in The Anchor of the Soul and Other Sermons (London: T. Nelson and Sons, 1875), p. 255
