The Gospel
The very first sigh on account of sin which is begotten in the
heart of a sinner by the Holy Spirit, is the beginning of an
eternal communion with God.
Among hearers of the Gospel God remembers the sins of those only
who remember not the blood of Jesus.
If God build His glory upon Christ, shall not we build on Him
our hope of salvation?
Do we heartily renounce our own righteousness? and are we looking
only to the atoning blood of Jesus for justification and sanctification?
If so, we are poor sinners saved by grace.
The very commandment of God—"Repent"—shows a dispensation
above the law, and supposes a fountain of grace in the heart
of God. Were there not forgiveness with God, there could have
been no commandment to repent.
As divine justice was honoured by the condemnation and cross
of Christ, the Head, so is the same justice honoured by the salvation
of the members.
