Sir Marcus Loane“The voice that spells forgiveness will say: ‘You may go: you have been let off the penalty which your sin deserves.’

But the verdict which means acceptance [justification] will say: ‘You may come; you who are welcome to all my love and my presence.’

– Sir Marcus Loane, quoted in John Stott, The Message of Romans. (Thanks to Of First Importance.)
