The following is excerpted from "What Does It Mean to Be Justified" by God by Harry A. Ironside:
Some years ago a friend of mine was preaching in a certain place, and somebody came to him one day and said, "Could you come and see a woman who is very sick? We are afraid she is dying. She is troubled about her soul and doesn't seem to understand the way." Of course he gladly went as any of us would under such circumstances. As he entered the room and sat down beside the bed, the woman said, "Tell me what is necessary in order that my soul may be saved and my sins forgiven." He told her the old, old story, the story of the Cross. He told her how "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). He told her how, hanging on that cross in those awful hours of darkness, our blessed Lord Jesus, as the substitute for sinners, drank the cup of wrath that we deserved and made full satisfaction for iniquity; and now God can justify everyone who believes in Him, whom He raised from the dead.
