You very well know that an atonement has been made. Christ has suffered, and suffered for you. Let me not describe the cross. Words are trivial to set out its horrible significance. You may look on it for yourself. For this cross has been preached to you, and you know the story of the love it reveals. Now, it might matter very little that you are a sinner. But you have seen the cross, and from this hour your sin means all that the cross means. You have not merely broken the law of God by sin—you have despised his broken body and his redeeming blood. What are all your other sins to this sin? Nothing.
William Curtis Stiles — William Curtis Stiles, “Excuse Me!” The Pleas That Ruin You (Philadelphia: Rice & Hirst, 1898; copyright by the American Sunday-School Union), chapter “Settle the Question,” p. 129
