Part of a song by Anointed-
if you say you’re sorry for all the stuff you do

You can be restored from your darkest

Spurgeon said it like this, “With out the shedding of blood there is no remission. Every drop of blood which flowed out of Jesus’ body is still in existence, and it is just as it was over 2,000 years ago wiping away the sins of mankind. The blood has been shed – the incorruptible, eternal, divine,

"Give the Bible to the people, unadulterated, pure, unaltered, unexplained, uncheapened, and then see it work through the whole nature. It is very difficult indeed for a man or for a boy who knows the Scriptures ever to get away from it. It follows him like the memory of his mother. It haunts him
