Such a question shows that a great point--an essential point--had been gained. The gospel is a sovereign remedy designed and constructed to meet a desperate case. Not only do they that are whole stand in no need of a physician, but wherever there lingers an idea of spiritual strength, or a dream, of self-righteousness, the condition necessary for the reception of such a salvation as that which the gospel proclaims is entirely wanting. Christ is an exclusive Saviour, and "looking to Him" is an exclusive hope. "What must I do to be saved?" Clear, quick, unhesitating, comes the answer of Paul: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Both the question and the answer strike the point--the centre of the soul's supreme need, and the centre of the gospel message. This answer of Paul's is not simply his own. It is the answer of God to every man who wants to know how he can be saved. It is the answer of the whole Bible. It is the pre-eminently, distinctively Christian answer. All revelation has one great object--Jesus Christ, promised, announced, expected, seen by faith beforehand; then Jesus Christ actually come, His life told, His mission developed, Himself presented to the world as the one and only Name whereby men can be saved;--always Jesus Christ. Patriarchs and prophets, Moses and David, Christ Himself, His apostles and disciples after Him, the whole Church--all unite to say to the awakened soul: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." But this answer, though not Paul's alone, is nevertheless his in such a sense that an immense weight belongs to it. What does Paul himself understand by it? We know something of his experience, and that will tell us the meaning of these words as spoken by him. He spake that which he knew, and testified that which he had seen. He felt that he could offer to the spiritual need of every man that which had so fully met his own.
