Anxious reader, do you, can you, still hesitate as to the forgiveness of your sins? Christ has suffered for sins. God preaches remission of sins. He pledges His own Word on the point. "To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins." What more would you have? How can you any longer doubt or delay? What are you waiting for? You have Christ's finished work and God's faithful word. Surely these ought to satisfy your heart and tranquilize your mind. Do, then, let us entreat you to accept the full and everlasting remission of all your sins. Receive into your heart the sweet tidings of divine love and mercy, and go on your way rejoicing. Hear the voice of a risen Saviour, speaking from the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, and assuring you that your sins are all forgiven. Let those soothing accents, from the very mouth of God Himself, fall, in their enfranchising power, upon your troubled spirit,--"Your sins and iniquities will I remember no more." If God thus speaks to me, if He assures me that He will no more remember my sins, should I not be fully and forever satisfied? Why should I go on doubting and reasoning when God has spoken? What can give certainty but the Word of God, that liveth and abideth forever? It is the only ground of certainty; and no power of earth or hell--human or diabolical--can ever shake it. The finished work of Christ and the faithful Word of God are the basis and the authority of full forgiveness of sins. But, blessed forever be the God of all grace, it is not only remission of _sins_ which is announced to us through the atoning death of Christ. This in itself would be a boon and a blessing of the very highest order; and, as we have seen, we enjoy it according to the largeness of the heart of God, and according to the value and efficacy of the death of Christ, as God estimates it. But besides the full and perfect remission of sins, we have also ENTIRE DELIVERANCE FROM THE PRESENT POWER OF SIN. This is a grand point for every true lover of holiness. According to the glorious economy of grace, the same work which secures the complete remission of _sins_ has broken forever the power of _sin_. It is not only that the _sins of the life_ are blotted out, but the _sin of the nature_ is condemned. The believer is privileged to regard himself as dead to sin. He can sing, with a glad heart, "For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died, And I have died in Thee; Thou'rt risen, my bands are all untied, And now Thou livest in me. The Father's face of radiant grace Shines now in light on me."
