II. Therefore, +all merit and satisfaction for sin are reduced to the person of Christ,+ and there are no human satisfactions for sin, nor meritorious works done by us. III. +Christ our sacrifice works love in us.+--We must in mind and meditation come to the cross of Christ. 1. The consideration of His endless pains for our sins must breed in us a godly sorrow. If He sorrowed for them, much more must we. 2. This knowledge is the beginning of amendment of life. 3. Is the foundation of comfort in them that truly turn to Christ. IV. +Christ gave Himself that He might deliver us from this evil world.+--1. We must be grieved at the wickedness of the world. 2. We must not fashion ourselves to the wicked lives of the men of this world. 3. Seeing we are taken out of this world, our dwelling must be in heaven.--_Perkins._ _The Gift of Christ._ I. +The gift.+--"He gave Himself." Regard Christ: 1. As the object of every prophecy. 2. The substance of every type and shadow. 3. The subject of every promise. 4. He was qualified for the work of redemption. Divine, human, spotless. II. +Christ's marvellous act.+--"He gave Himself for our sins." 1. To what He gave Himself. To all the privations and sorrows of human life, to obscurity and indigence, to scorn and infamy, to pain and anguish, to an ignominious and painful death. 2. The purpose for which He gave Himself. To deliver us from sin's curse, defilement, dominion, and from the effects of sin in this world and in eternity. III. +The design of Christ's offering.+--"That He might deliver us from the present evil world." From its evil practices, its spirit, from attachment to it, and from the condemnation to which it will be subjected. IV. +Christ's offering was according to the will of God.+--1. It was the will of God we should be saved. 2. Christ was the appointed agent. 3. The sacrifice of Christ was voluntary.--_Helps._ _MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.--Verses_ 6-9. _The One Gospel._ +I. Is an introduction into the grace of Christ.+--"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ" (ver. 6). The one true Gospel is the emphatic call of God to man to participate and revel in the grace of Christ as the element and the only means by which his salvation can be secured. The grace of Christ, with its persuasive gentleness and vast redemptive resources, is in vivid contrast to the grim formalism and impossible demands of the yoke of bondage into which the Galatians were being so foolishly seduced. There is only one Gospel that can introduce the soul into the midst of saving influences and bring it into contact with the living Christ. This one fact differentiates the Gospel from all mere human methods and gives it a unique character as the only remedial agency in dealing with human sin and sorrow. +II. The perversion of the one Gospel is not a gospel.+--"Unto another gospel which is not another" (vers. 6, 7).
