And, my friends, if you depart in peace, it must be in Christ. Do not tell me of your peace with God, if it is not in Christ, the alone peace-maker, and peace-giver, it is not worth a farthing. Certain I am, if he has not obtained peace for you by his own cross, there is none to be obtained any other way. For my part, as a poor sinner, I dare not look God in the face, but through Jesus. I should hear him say, “I will by no means spare the guilty; the soul that sinneth shall die.”—None else but Christ could take off my load of guilt, or cleanse me from my sin.—None could bring peace to my soul, but the Lamb that was slain.
