Do not let Satan tempt you to despair of pardon. “It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” (1 Tim. i 15.) Paul, who uttered these words, said he was the chief of sinners, and he is in heaven to-day. There is hope, then, for you. John Newton felt himself to be one of the chief of sinners, and yet he found peace and pardon. He believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, and was saved. He only “looked and lived.” His sins were as scarlet and crimson, but through the wondrous power of that blood which “cleanseth from all sin,” they became as wool and as snow.
