In the cross of Christ we see that the salvation of any of our fallen race is all of God, and all of grace; that the prerogative of healing and saving any was purchased by atoning blood, by the meritorious death of the Son of God; that it is with God, as his rightful prerogative, to have mercy on whom he will have mercy; that, as sinners contributed nothing to the atonement, they can have no claim to mercy or favor, on account of it. The atonement does not alter their natural character, nor lessen their ill desert. Their character remains the same, as though no atonement had been made, and will so remain, unless God, of his own will, or sovereign goodness, interpose and change them, make them trophies of his grace.
