^{"The love of God to men was so strong that, when death and hell struggled against it, they were driven away like chaff before the wind. All our sins stood, like a mighty mountain, barring our way to God; but his love leveled every hill, and made a clear path by which we might approach his mercy-seat. The love of God to his people is omnipotent; there is no force in nature that can for a single moment be compared with it. It is irresistible, for the love of God conquered God himself, and brought him down to earth in human form." - Charles Spurgeon}
