Christ's Crucifixion Is Our Deliverance | thebereancall.org

I do believe and confess that Christ’s condemnation is my absolution, that His crucifying is my deliverance, His descending into [the grave] is my ascending into heaven, His death is my life, His blood is my cleansing and purging, by whom only I am washed, purified and cleansed from all my sins, so that I neither receive nor believe any other purgatory, either in this world or in the other, whereby I am purged, but only the blood of Jesus Christ, by which all are purged and made clean forever.

--John Hooper (English preacher, executed during the reign of Mary I [“Bloody Mary”,] quoted in Philip Hughes, Theology of the English Reformers, 1965, p. 65).
