A Quote by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
We want gain without pain; we want the resurrection without going through the grave; we want life without experiencing death; we want a crown without going by way of the Cross. But in God's economy, the way up is down.

It shows that death to be of sufficient value to cover our sins, for it was the sacrifice of the Son of God."
