Jerry Bridges on Preaching the Gospel to yourself:

“There are two “courts” we must deal with: the court of God in Heaven and the court of conscience in our souls. When we trust in Christ for salvation, God’s court is forever satisfied. Never again will a charge of guilt be brought against us in Heaven. Our consciences, however, are continually pronouncing us guilty. That is the function of conscience. Therefore, we must by faith bring the verdict of conscience into line with the verdict of Heaven. We do this by reminding it that our guilt has already been borne by Christ.” Jerry Bridges, Disciplines of Grace, 54.
