Title: The Quotable Spurgeon

One with Christ

He who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:17

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3

There’s a story of two friends who went into Vulcan’s shop and begged a favor of him, which he granted. What was their request? That he would either beat them on his anvil or melt them in his furnace, both into one. But without make-believe, there is a far greater love in Christ, for he would be melted in the furnace of wrath, and beaten on the anvil of death, to be made one with us. And to declare the exceeding love, here were not both to be beaten on the anvil or melted in the furnace—but only he alone would be beaten, he alone would be melted that we might be spared.
