Spurgeon on the Love of God for the Justified Sinner
The moment the man believes in Christ, he ceases to be guilty in God’s esteem, but what is more, he becomes righteous, he becomes meritorious, for, in the moment when Christ takes his sins he takes Christ’s righteousness, so that, when God looks upon the sinner who but an hour ago was dead in sins, he looks upon him with as much love and affection as he ever looked upon his Son. He himself has said it — “As the Father loved me, so have I loved you.” He loves us as much as his Father loved him. Can you believe such a doctrine as that? Does it not pass all thought? Well, it is a doctrine of the Holy Spirit, the doctrine whereby we must hope to be saved. (Justification By Grace, A Sermon [#126] Delivered on April 5, 1857)

You just made my day.
Good to see you back!
Takin;
Looking at the picture, Spurgeon must have had a powerful voice to be able to speak without a microphone to thousands of people so that all could hear and understand him.
