From In My Place Condemned He Stood: Celebrating the Glory of the Atonement
pg. 109-110

pg. 110
Evangelical theology affirms the vicarious, substitutionary Atonement of Jesus Christ. It does not claim that this theory does justice to all aspects of Christ’s atoning work, but it does see substitution as the heart of the Atonement.
C. T. Studd’s famous statement: “If Jesus Christ be God, and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.”
Charles Spurgeon … “It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus. We are not to be living specimens of men in fine preservation, but living sacrifices, whose lot is to be consumed.”
