The Doctor: The Saint’s Marvelous Salvation

There is nothing more marvelous about one person being saved than another; there is nothing more marvelous about a man who has been a terrible drunkard being saved, than a man who has never had a drop of drink in his life; there is no difference at all, none whatsoever.  But, you see, people are interested – ‘Oh, was it not a wonderful testimony?’ they say.  ‘Did you hear it?’ My Friend, I could easily prove, if you pressed me, that it is much more difficult to save the person who has not been a drunkard, because he does not know that he is not righteous.  The drunkard does know it, he is terribly aware of it, poor fellow.  – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Romans Vol. 2, p. 200
