There is no article of faith more certain than that Jesus Christ is an all-sufficient and most willing Saviour, "able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God through him, and that those that come unto him, he will in no wise cast out." They that entrust their souls in his hands he keeps, and none of them is lost. It is also certain that all the guilty sons of Adam stand in the most absolute need of him: in vain do they look for salvation in any other. Without him, they are undone for ever: and without him, their very existence becomes a curse, and their immortality but the duration of their misery. The disease of sin has so deeply infected their souls, that none but this divine Physician can heal them.
Samuel Davies — Sermon LII, "The Characters of the Whole and Sick, in a Spiritual Sense, Considered and Contrasted," on Matthew 9:12, in Sermons, vol. 2 (Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1864), p. 553
