God forbid, that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the worlds Galatians 6:4.
A true believer has nothing to glory in, but Christ only. Even in his very best performances he will be often deeply humbled, and cry out, Lord, enter not into judgment. And well he may; for the ground of our glory, comfort, and salvation is not in works, but in Christ and the free grace of God, who for his Son’s sake, lays nothing to our charge, but richly and daily covers and pardons all our iniquities. And thus we may always be preserved in true rest and peace; for the cross of Christ is a true, solid, and unmoveable foundation.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast.
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads over his body on the tree:
Then am I dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
