Are we more wise than Paul? Are we more astute than the apostle John, who tells us anyone who says he is without sin is a liar?

For his "armour-bearer is self-confidence."2024-01-1706 minEngaging SpurgeonEngaging SpurgeonM&E Consecrated to the Cause of ChristOur Savior, the lamb who was slain, was not stolen from us.

No, instead he gave himself to bear our iniquities.
